Ok...just what the flyin' dipped pickles was I trying to say when I drew this??...
(and if you're really bored, give me a title)

Lovely Sexy Daffodil.

Legs on a stick.

"Leg 'o Lions" (Dandelions)?

fauxnewbie said:

...Excellent title! (and excellent meaning)...

My brother was the only one to attempt either interpreting it or titling it...he called it "Conception", but I like "Deflower Me, Deflower Me Not" better...lol

Sounds like something you'd buy from a vendor on the streets of New York... :O

That's a new Prince song...

Byron said:

It reminded me of how Kylie Minogue once labelled Prince; Sex On A Stick

"A rose by any other name would smell as feet"

Byron said:

I love the picture, I think it's brilliant. It really is intriguing and perversely humourous and compelling on a deeper level. It's great.

Byron said:

LSD?

PREDOMINANT said:

LMAO...

That's definitely 2nd runner up...lol

fauxnewbie said:

Thank you... ...definitely appreciate the critique, and the compliment.. It looks a bit blurry on here, unfortunately...and the thing's rather big, about 2 feet high or so...

I'm just tryin' to come up with a response to tell people why I drew it other than "I like women's legs"...

This has a deeper meaning...it's a statement about
the connection that is shared between a flower in
bloom, ready to release it's seeds to populate the
world...and what's at the center of a woman's legs,
which also "releases" to populate the world...

Very interesting Byron...did you happen to become a
father during this creation???

or it could just be a doodle...

Blooming Rockettes

a bit randy..."Blow Me"

Revolution said:

Nice interpretation as well, by the way...whether meant seriously or just as a set-up for your "doodle" punchline..lol ...and to answer, no, I drew this long ago, during a furious 6 month creative period...the majority of my illustrations then seemed to center around women's legs...I incorporated them into everything...

Here's another one I did during that same time period:

Revolution said:

Revolution, I was going to say that too...

Byron said:

It look as if it's going to turn and fly at me.

SHANNA said:

Or start a chorus line... :O

SHANNA said:

Dammit! I should have waited...I'd prefered that
you DID say that...

Byron, your pieces are beautiful. You know me. And, best is how so many interpretations are born from a piece. Like fauxnewbie's , PREDOMINANT's ...and, some randy ideas such as Revolution's . and mine.

Byron said:

Well, as you asked, I don't think you actually knew what you were trying to say when you did it but it is an expression of loss, sadness, and uncontrollable sobbing.

Here's what you were thinking when you drew it :

Your were sitting there cross-legged reminiscing about the other day...

When you were on your way to work and saw a beautiful sunflower in the distance.
"A sunflower? In winter?", you thought. "That'll make a great photo!".
So you pulled over and got out of your car to get a clear shot. Just as you were getting out a fed-ex fan came careening towards you, skidding out of control. You pissed yourself and dropped your camera in shock. At the last moment the fed-ex driver regained control and avoided you. You looked down through the fog of your own rising steam to see your camera in bits on the road. You sank to your knees and sobbed uncontrollably...

Musing about the regrettable loss of your favourite camera you started sketching a sunflower, the sunflower. Outkast's 'Roses' comes on your jukebox (you were in too fragile a mood due to the recent loss of your favourite obscura digitalis to choose any music to suit your mood, so you just clicked on AutoDJ). Hearing 'Roses' inspired you to adorn the sunflower with a thorny rose stalk.
Thinking about your ocular outburst you began to wonder about the last time you had sobbed uncontrollably... and remembered that it was when you were a kid, when your mum refused to let you take synchronised swimming lessons, and told you to "do something boys do, like football, or photography". Hence the synchronised swimmers legs motif instead of sunflower petals.

'Baby, I'm A Star' comes on your jukebox and you start thinking about the first time you saw Prince, and those ridiculous high heels. You then start drawing Prince-like heels on the swimmers legs to cover up those feet, which, quite frankly, looked like bunches of deformed bananas. Et Voila!

In a flurry of creativity you complete your drawing, upload it and post it on the org. Moments after you realise that you have the perfect name for it : "Synchronised Swum Flower"

And there you have it!


Oh, and it's really good. Thank you for sharing it.
I'm going to cut'n'paste it (with your permission of course) and add it to my gallery of cool stuff (which I look at whilst listening to music).

Revolution said:

By the way...I was going to say it in my first post...lol...as "Blow Me" (Dandelion), because it's one of those dandelion flower weed thingies...Right Byron?
