Illustration Freitags: Perspective (or lack of it...)

The noticed absence of something proves it's existence, right? I think this applies for perspective where Las Vegas is concerned. A loss of perspective. Love that place, hate that place.Yes, Pina Colada, NO frozen Margherita. Cowboys and Pirates and too much skin and don't give me that card please and Celine Dion and sweets and gifts when we get upgraded to VIP by accident. I lost my perspective and wanted it back, but I'd probably do it again.

  1. Louise, I'm not a Vegas person (my sis lives nearby so I DO see it on a semi-regular basis) but you've succeeded in making it look really inviting to me! Wow...you ARE good!

  4. Wonderful. The distortion of perspective and the playfulness of line and colour.

  5. A beautiful composition! I really like how everything is so much like a carnival happy, and joyful, and great combination of all the beautiful and recognizable landmarks around the world.

  8. Yes, you certainly did capture the energy of the city! And the loss of perspective is so aptly applied!

  12. I really appreciate your comments Louise, and that our loved ones are also serving the military. No matter how much glory it is to wear the uniform and fight for the nation, whenever there's need for them to be in the frontline, it's always the family that has to handle all the worries. I wish them all the best.

  13. Fantastic drawing! I have never been to Vegas but your drawing is so how I imagine it to be, a visual overload of shiny excitement.
