Artist's Comments

Going down,
Down where my breath is the only sound
Going down
Going down,
Going down,
Don't look for me now, all day long,
i'm underground
And I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me,
far away
Let the current carry me awayyyyy
Current flows,
but I don't know where it goes
I don't care,
I just get it there
Took this job,
cause I needed one
Now its seven years,
since I've seen the sun,
All day long I'm underground
And I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me, far away
Let the current carry me awayyyyy
Now been thinking about the future,
I hope some day I'll get away
but the current keeps bringing me,
back around,
seems the only place for me is,
underground.
So tommorrow when the sun comes up,
I'll be going down, going down.
Going down.

The Current lyrics by Blue Man Group

My entry for 's contest. I chose to interpret the entire song "The Current" by Blue Man Group.

I know some people are going to complain about my watermark and I'm telling you right here right now TOUGH COOKIES! I'm sick and tired of not only myself, but several other artists getting their work ripped off. So I'm going to do all in my power to try to prevent this from happening.

No you are NOT allowed to borrow this . All mine, got it? Oh and don't reuse the main elements of my picture somewhere else for your own personal whatever. It's not nice to steal in anyway and bad karma as well as crazed ninja monkeys will follow you where you go, tearing you limb from limb.

materials: pencil, ink, PS7.

Oh wow! That's such an awesome interpretation! I love the look of the whole piece and especially the waves in the background, and on her headphones! I love the way you colored it too, and her hand, strangely, I just really like how you did her hand. Thanks so much for entering! Wow! I'm getting such good submissions, gonna be so hard! @_@ ;; ! :heart:

Thank you so much for looking at it. As you can tell, not many people take a look at my work. I do appreciate the comments. I wasn't sure if her hand looked right, but I was staring at up-close for too long. And I do love how the waves turned out. The watermark isn't too obnoxious is it?

Nah! It's not prominent enough to where you can't look at the picture without seeing the watermark. Thanks again for entering!! :heart: :heart:

Thank you!!! I wasn't certain the lettering was right, but I'm my own worst critic. Thanks for looking. :glomp:
