Illustration Friday "Immovable"



The theme for Illustration Friday this week is Immovable which led me to think about weight and persistence. I began with one as a boulder and the faces continued to multiply. I was feeling rather pleased with the weight of the expressions and was beginning to tell myself a story about them. They were the basis for an ancient stone wall. 

Then my husband noticed what I was doing. "Cool potato people."

Oh. Yeah, I can see what he means. 

So for IF, I offer Immovable Potatoes.

  1. I know many such "Immovable Potatoes"! Look around ! They just sit and wait and they do not take any initiative. Good work!
