They're all looking at him.. unnerving.

What is in the boat is more important to the person than the people who seem to be drowning are.
What is in the boat looks very "weedy" to me.
Nice.

It's funny how the mind works.
When I first looked at this drawing, I was more taken, perhaps, by the fact that our wee sailor doesn't appear to have a face at all. Next, I noted, as Lindy did, that all the little heads, bobbing in the sea, were looking up at him with those marvelously expressive eyes. Then I started to imagine a mysterious world wherein this little fellow, like all of us, spends eternity in his boat, fishing for the thing he lacks. Meanwhile, the fish just look on in bemusement.
I never considered that the people in the water might be drowning... until you mentioned it -- adding an entirely different perspective to what is quickly becoming one of my favorite drawings here.
I know thejongleur must be grateful for the comments you leave regarding his work, Cutter, but I just wanted you to know that as a fellow observer, I am thankful as well.
Take care,
j

Further reflection has me, yet again, considering a balance of power (or redistribution of wealth and wellbeing) from European to Afro-Asiatic. After the flood ... strangely, I think those bobbing, noseless heads have been evolving back toward some amphibian state of being. (Not drowning at all!)
Eek, a little creepy. (But then I've long been thinking humankind's doing the thing suggested by Hindu mythology and system of eras and evolution - reverting back to a kind of prehistoric toad-people!)
