Looks like naarmamo '07 is shaping up to be a series of series...

Warning: literary and art geekery ensues.

Series #1: Wondertale
Each of these is meant to represent a key turning point in wondertales (aka "fairy tales"). Not any one particular tale, but a symbolic representation of the energy dynamic through the arc of (nearly) all wondertales.

These were all done on MS paint, and they were also all done with the framework of the golden mean (scroll down just a bit to see the rectactangle... you can skip all that math mumbo jumbo if it makes your head hurt, like it does mine).

I'd like to print these out, and hang them together on the wall, as a grouping. But I'm afraid they'd lose a good chunk of their effectives without being on a glowing computer monitor... Maybe I could print them on inkjet transparency sheets, and put a tiny light in the back of the frame? Maybe?

Anyway, here they are as a group. I'm debating whether this should be the whole series, or if I should do two more: Leaving home, and Arriving (back) home. Watcha think?

As usual, click to enlarge them.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

I hope you do find some way of printing them out satisfactorily, they are beautiful. I think a leaving home one might work, although I quite like the ship as the ending point somehow. I think I always like that end to stories more than ones that deal with going back to 'real life' as it were.

They'd look great as glossy postcards, especially the last two, I love those clouds SO MUCH:)

Well, the last one (if I did another one) would be sharing the gift (received in #4, and carried back in #5) with the rest of the world.

The clouds were fun. I used the spray paint tool -- that's neat, 'cause it throws random pixels of color in a vague, circle-ish, way, and the longer you hold it over an area, the more of the pixels are filled in. It's a great way to blur and fuzzy-up lines, or make something look foggy or fluffy...

I think if you do do the extra two they will almost certainly be fabulous, but I don't think it looks unfinished or anything, if you choose not to, so . . . basically I'm no help at all!:)

Either way, I'll see how I feel in the morning... Always a good plan.
