illustration friday (swell)


You may recognize this etegami from my Japanese Proverbs series. The writing translates to "a bee [sting] on a crying face," which refers to a misfortune that occurs on top of a previous misfortune (like the English saying rubbing salt in a wound).

  6. It does look ouchy. I'll try to avoid this proverb, but you've done a good job with it :)

  7. I really like this one (the painting, not the experience it refers to).
