"ONE OUT, ALL OUT"

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  19. 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!!! :)
