Description

This is my initial response to the challenge posed by Helle and Mark, to do something interesting with the alphabet. I must confess that this A is something I started some years ago, and haven't yet finished. It was on A3 originally and in order to get it into photoshop to tweak I had to scan it in two halves, which is why you can see the join!

Very creative design! I especially like what appears to be a lion's paw (with retractable claws) on the right side.

Clockwork orange springs to mind. I love the weave symbol at the bottom.

I was gonna comment on you and Claude today (photosynthesis), but I got swamped with bank stuff...so I set aside tomorrow morning for you two: Then I saw this; and hell's bells: I HAD to comment on this now, since I just did an "ABC" and Helle's done a ton more. Andrea, this is TERRIFIC! I LOVE it! It's got all your wonderful squiggly lines and sinews, it's got a big Celtic thing going on in the bottom, some Pacific Northwest Totems hangin' out, a head, an eye (maybe a few), a genuine Andrea foot with claws, it's got anklets and other (andrea) jewelry and a touch of Yin Yang, Picasso, and a lotta your inimitable imagination. I love it! I hope others pick this up---Tara's threatened---it would be great to see all the variety. Then we can all storm Helle's place and demand our money back...I LOVE this. When you draw, doodle, fly, and get all intricate at the same time, you do things that are totally YOU, and I love it every time. Very old calligraphy meets a big clumpy happy dancing figure. Ze best!!!

My first thought was something Canadian as in Illuminated, A? An odd little bird. Mark already said most of what I was thinking so I'll just add, how do you folks say it? A real corker!

The celtic thing struck me first, and Mark got all the rest. But he failed to mention that 1960s Peter Max/psychedelic feeling, I hope this hasn't been sitting around all that long! Great work!!!
