"ONE OUT, ALL OUT"

"ONE OUT, ALL OUT" - by Jez
Watercolour, Pitt Artist Pen,
Wall and floor colour added digitally
(CLICK TO ENLARGE)
It took me quite a while to think of a way to meet the So Artful Challenge of 'Dress Forms', then in my mind I saw a row of them standing in line and wondered what they were doing.  Well, as you can see, they are going out on strike, and I don't blame them.

It's also my Fantasy idea for the Art Journal Journey challenge this month, and I hope that at Opus Gluei they will agree with me that it fits the theme of an Alphabet Letter - the letter D for Dress forms.

Linking to So Artful Challenges, Art Journal Journey, Opus Gluei, and Paint Party Friday

    Thanks for a big smile, Jez! Your "women" are lucky as they fit to so many cgallenges and get respons for their message;) Fun idea really.

    This is absolutely fantastic, amusing and well drawn. It should be a cartoon in a fashion magazine.
    I like the messages on their placards and the castors on their not-legs, and "they haven't got a leg to stand on" is brilliant. It's such a good entry for what I thought was a difficult theme.

    Meant to add that it's great for "A Fantasy Scene" at AJJ too.

    I'm getting nothing but laughs tonight this is so funny! Colorful too! And you accomplished fitting these forms into so many challenges. Maybe change the words to "Standing in line for lunch" and then you can post them at Paper, Paint, Pencils & Pens too! ;-)))))

    Love this work Jez, it's so refreshing to see humour in art. I think its quite difficult to achieve but you always get it just right. I agree that they will need more arms in their fight for freedom!!! :)
