handwriting I don't really like you


I don't really understand all this hullabaloo about saying "I love you." Lying is easy, especially when it's A) subjective, B) difficult to prove, and C) gets you what you need. I dunno about you, but I find it much more difficult to tell the truth--especially when it's not so poetic.

Another wonderful concept piece. Good choice of background.

(And I don't really like you, either.)

The background is an air conditioning unit. My original choice--house siding--proved to have too little contrast for my taste.

(Whew! As long as the feeling's mutual. ;) )

ok... no surprise here... but i really like this... i like the detail (e.g., i now know how much you don't do with your nails)... and i like the ironic/snarky position... and i like that the narrative... and i think three is the right number of images...

i also agree with john about the background... it has some information, but not too much... and the tone is good contrast to the hand...

Thank you, m. I know you're a diptypch lover, so your approval means a lot. :)

Re: nails--
I actually had to go a round with some nail polish remover to get this fantastically chic look.

Great sequence and I would agree, it is much harder.
