Arthur, my friend.

Okey  Dokey, another one. Second one for Summer 2013, my take on the work of Alphons Mucha, a fantastic illustrator known for his graceful women, delicate colors, and decorative style that usually was a recipe for temptation. That being said, we may not have to worry about temptation with this one. This is a character who posed for me once before; a troll named Arthur. He lives under the park over on Alturia. He can be a bit smelly and rude, loves scaring soccer moms, and is ALWAYS hungry (he eats raccoons mostly), but he really isn't a bad fellow, he didn't mind posing for this one, as long as I promised  that I would feed him afterwards. This was done on an 8 x 10 canvas, using ink, acrylics and collage. The muse was a slave master today, now I'm all keyed up and have to try to sleep.
