Artist's Comments

"Singing hymns and waving palm branches through all eternity is pretty when you hear about it in the pulpit, but it's as poor a way to put in valuable time as a body could contrive."
-Mark Twain


Playing around with the construction paper cutout look a bit more. Trying to make it look more 3D and create a scene (instead of just a single character).

And just one last Twain quote for good measure (the one that originally inspired this drawing):

"Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of Humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven."

Ah Twain and his cigars. Funny thing to know, my town is famous for having him buried in our cemetary. We love to promote the hell out of that. This also reminded me of the episode of ST:TNG where he wound up in the future and complained about not being able to get a good cigar despite all the fancy technology everywhere.

This technique is very intersting to me...I could see how some pretty cool art can come from it. And this is a great example of that...I really like the angels and how they pop out. Nice...your thinking outside the box for sure.

Haha, Twain really puts a positive spin on humanity, doesn't he? :D

I like this caricature of him, and I love his dark circles and bags around his eyes. He looks truly depressed in Utopia. ><

Good work, as always. :)

Yeah, Twain wouldn't have any fun in Heaven. He's too smart!!

Nice pic here. This is great, and I can't wait to see more.

haha. Yeah. I almost made the blunder of actually having him smoking it.

I don't actually know that acronym. ST:TNG

Thanks! I'm still trying to work out some things. There are issues with this one that sort of bother me. I'm hoping the style will work out though.
