The eye-rolling does indeed look like I am doing a Haka. <br />McDougall takes his cue from prehistoric cave-drawings and I can see how there are many analogies, subtle messages and references despite the very in-your-face-ness of the figures and colours.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-27358188589785797852014-10-03T21:17:08.803+13:002014-10-03T21:17:08.803+13:00GB - This one is pretty riotous, although so are m...GB - This one is pretty riotous, although so are most of his other works!

But I have to disagree with you about the colour… if it were more subdued, it wouldn't say the same thing at all. (Of course, what it would say might be interesting too!) I'll have to reflect on the fitting-in thing...Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-19616010942512505922014-10-03T03:50:49.495+13:002014-10-03T03:50:49.495+13:00Yorkshire Pudding was earlier than me to make you ...Yorkshire Pudding was earlier than me to make you a complement for your hairstyle, so I agree with his words.

In the first photo you look as if you have taken a mind-bending drug!

The imagery is interesting, but the colour off-putting. Also I'm not keen on everything being nicely fitted-in; it looks as if he's just filled-in all the available space.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
