illustration friday (swell)


You may recognize this etegami from my Japanese Proverbs series. The writing translates to "a bee [sting] on a crying face," which refers to a misfortune that occurs on top of a previous misfortune (like the English saying rubbing salt in a wound).

    Loved it the first time 'round. Still looks good!
    First the sting but then hopefully the honey?

    Gorgeous...and I can *so* relate to this saying! Don't bad things come in threes...or dozens...or is it waves...? Ouch!

    Something not to be experimented too often except for the learning part...

    It does look ouchy. I'll try to avoid this proverb, but you've done a good job with it :)

    I really like this one (the painting, not the experience it refers to).
