I always liked the film "Honey I Shrunk the Kids". Not only is it classic 80s nostalgia, but the idea alone ... "everyones really small" just conjours up so many possibilities and ideas.

But i figured it'd be kinda cool to have big nature to look up to. In this world, the biggest natural things arent THAT much bigger to us - even whales and trees are still comprehendable. But just like the earth is just a speck compared to the sun, it'd be cool to experience what it must feel like to be dwarved by stuff in our own immediate reality.

Its all about relativity!

Anyway, thought i'd spend a little longer on this one. Just pictured something in my head and whatever that was, i decided i'd draw it. Originally the house was gonna be in the background but i accidently dropped the layer it was on in front of the flower and i thought it just worked better =) Kind of in a "i cant even believe i considered NOT putting it in front" kind of better.

Uhm, comments welcome n appreciated. Approx 3 hours, thanks =)

If you like the picture, why not buy a print =)

Spectacular doesn't even begin to describe it.
Awesome job. ~<3

very nice work !!! ...
I love how playful and yet complex this piece is! The red of the home and splashes of it on the actual plant are great contrast to the otherwise green world.
I'm also glad to see you're still posting here instead of leaving DA. Not trying to be fangirly here, but you're seriously one of my favorite artists here for your sheer imagination. :)

Oh wow, you keep surprising me. xD Gotta love the classic wormsy-eye viewpoint. I like the key-petals pattern on the flower. Very funky!
