Sketched a rotting car. Looks cartoonish, but rather that than too slick. I like the realm of the so-called “uncanny valley”, where images have a real enough quality about them but also an unsettling detachment from photo-reality. Otherwise why not just take photos and use photoshop?
Thinking also about the “wolf in sheepskin”. I love the look of sheepskin and how wildlife painters can nail this so convincingly – I have to look around for some examples to study. Good old google images.
I think I will start sketching the car onto the board and see where that leads me…

So you are thinking about doing the car in sheepskin?
Sounds interesting.
The first impression the car made on me was sad. Three antennas on the roof like the top of the head of a balding man.
Or three windshield wipers on the roof, misplaced and forgotten.
He was never the same after that accident.
I think the sheep may be still alive – I’m not sure of placement though. Originally I thought of the skin cloaking a figure at the back/top of the car…
