As if I didn't have enough to do, I'm in the process of writing the worst story ever told. My art teacher conned - I mean - convinced me into doing this http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject.
It's 16 pages (32 pages front and back) and we have to have it in the mail post-marked by January 31st. Today's the 28th, and she wants it by the 30th. Without further negative introduction, this is what I have done so far:
That's right. Half of the front cover. I still need to paint it. I do have a box of black tea and a (flexible) page break-down though:
Intro: pages 1-10/30
- 1-3 = the fluffiness of Mona Lisa's eyebrows prior to the "incident."
- 4 = how jealous Mona Lisa's eyebrows made Frida Kahlo feel.
- 5 = the flexibility of Mona Lisa's eyebrows prior to the incident (this eats 2 pages of the original 32, bringing it down to 30.)
- 6-10 = the story and "incident."
Sadness: pages 11-25
- 11 = Mona Lisa's reaction to the "incident."
- 12-13 = the social rejection she faced.
- 14-17 = despair and acts of desparation.
- 18 = "It's just not the same."
- 19-25 = Mona Lisa packs her bags and wanders the world to find herself.
Happiness: 26-30
- 26-27 = da Vinci teaches Mona Lisa how to smile again.
- 28 = she is painted
- 29 = she is loved and admired by all
- 30 = well... not everyone.
I'm open to suggestions as I go through, but I do have quite a few gears turning... but I might not be able to hear you over the sound of da Vinci rolling in his grave.
Enjoy!
