IF: strings

Filed under: IF — joshpincusiscrying @ 11:30 pm

The illustrationfriday.com challenge word this week is “strings”.
You have no strings/Your arms is free/To love me by the Zuider Zee/Ya, ya, ya/If you would woo/I'd bust my strings for you
“All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.”
— Aldous Huxley

This is the first of two illustrations for this topic. HERE is the second.

  2. This is an excellent quote - Huxley is full of them. You illustrated this quote very well too! I immediately connected this with the upcoming election, and to world leaders in general.

  3. Certainly an intriguing quote, but very well illustrated. Pen is a pleasure of mine, and love to see pen illustration.
