Here are two from my new series of experimental etegami. The writing (the single Japanese character at the right side of the image) means "cliff," and I used the shape of it to represent exactly what it means. In one, a paraglider launches from the cliff. In the other, a ladybug does the same. Some of you know that I use a ladybug as my avatar, so if you suspect this leaping ladybug represents me, you'd probably be right.

Klassz! ez nagyon de nagyon tetszik!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, a graphic triumph! I especially like the ladybug, nice when you can layer the meaning.
ReplyDeleteI loved the launching lady bug version of your etegami :) we love and respect talented and brave bugs ;)
ReplyDeleteVery creative! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the whole concept. We have many ladybugs around our house each fall and if we have to have any bugs at all, I'm glad that they are cute ladybugs!
ReplyDeletelove this one. the ladybug one yes, but the paraglider speaks to me of real courage, leaping without a net.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! I do like the leaping Ladybug :)
ReplyDeleteA great analogy!
ReplyDeleteI love to see that the character looks so close to what it means. I love these!!
ReplyDeleteLovely work. If the ladybug is you, I wish you a soft landing. :-)

I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteNice! I like Paula's idea for a soft landing, but also hope you enjoy the flight :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I always love your work, but the adding challenge of making the character become its meaning adds a whole new dimension...so creative!
ReplyDelete...so this week we are on the same "cliff" wavelength! Thanks for your nice comment! I admire your experimental etegami!
ReplyDeleteI really love this, as well as learning about etagami!
