Monkey Feet

So this is what I worked on last night. Boxers' legs for my illustration for Illustration Friday. They don't look as heavy on the ground as I wanted them to, but I was worrying about my moving background and legs not staying up. It was too late and I was too excited to try and device a way to make them stay. So anyway, maybe I'll fidget around with them in Photoshop. I'm going to do multiple layers and then put them together. So this is just the top layer. And yes, It will be cropped. I don't think it looks too bad for my first try anyway.

I'm starting to get used to the freaks on Queen street in the morning. Not saying I like them, but I'm starting to know how to avoid being targeted. But honestly, when a group of men gathered around a pay phone this morning looking for quarters turned to stare and one of them said as arbitrary a word as "hips" to me, I kind of wanted to say "bald head" or "psoriasis" or "hello, where are the fashion police?" I could ramble on about culture and about how it's meant as a compliment even if I don't like it and it makes me uncomfortable...but what I really want to know is, why just "hips?" Why not, "nice hips" or "swingin hips?" Hips? What is this, random body part blurting day? Why is it that nice looking men in suits don't shout random (or not so random) things at women? Intelligence? That's my rant for the month. Thank you for listening. That is all.
