FORUM HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT: "We'll begin with two drawings, one of a taxi (I always think of those New York Checker Taxis of the Dick Tracy era but you might have a different vision). The other drawing will be of a crab. As you know, I have quite a history with paintings those critters, so bear in mind that I will be looking at your crab with a
practised eye." -- ROB Howard (Moderator of Ceninni Forum)
CLUE # 2: Taxi-Crab. Brack and white. -- ROB
CLUE # 3: "Some of you made a joke about a taxi-crab, but that's where we're going with this. No, the final image will be about something else (and with a great story attached to it). What this evolution will be about is to take the salient parts of the taxi and those of the crab and combine them to make a new creature that shows the parentage of both (kinda like crossing a piranha with a bowling ball to produce Rosie O'Donnell). Make this new creation something that will work...something that will combine the qualities of a taxi along with those of a crab. Give it personality. I'd like to see the sketch on Friday morning. I hope that you are looking forward to this Taxi-Crab as much as I am." -- ROB
Two problems. I sort of went off on the Rosie example ... and missed the real assignment to "Make this new creation something that will work. i.e. a taxi-crab" ---ooops, hummm. Back to the drawing board for me....again. However, I did get a chuckle over this as my imagination went a little wacky. --- PAD
