"I wish the women would hurry up and take over... it's going to happen so lets get it over with. Then we can finally recognize that women really are the minds and force that holds everything together and men are really gossips and artists." -- Leonard Cohen.

So. Much. Geometry.

For real, it was driving me NUTS! I usually don't work this tedious-- to make sure I get every line and perspective frame worked up like this but I guess I was up to prove a point, ya know, saying, "I can." So people won't ever come up to question me without saying so.

Alright y'all so dig this. Assuming you read the comments AT ALL, this one will actually be worth your while.

Truth be told, this image itself is a homage to one of my most favorite artists out there-- while I have many I look up to, there are only a few I admire, so much that I'd actually go out of my way by mimicking their exact composition and then executing it into my own translation-- easily by placing Juju himself in the piece.

Big deal, you might say. Why does that matter? Well how about I put some interest into this. A kind of 'scavenge hunt'.

I originally was intending to do this when I actually had the finished, colored version up, but seeing as how that will take me a while, and the thought that probably NO ONE will ever get it-- cosider this a contest:

NAME THAT ART PIECE & ARTIST.

If anyone out there has the spare time, the sanity and persistence to find out who I mimicked, by naming the artist and name of the piece I mimicked-- I'll reward them with a free drawing of anyone's character/fursona/personaolity/avatar,etc., etc.

You read it right.

Just name that piece and the artist who did the piece and you get a FREE drawing from me.

Seems simple right? I'd be so bold as to put money down on the bet that no one will get it, but I figure a free drawing is reward enough-- assuming you WILL find it and who it's done by.

Seriously, I've given enough clues in everything I've presented to you. So now it's up to you, the viewers, to venture forth and accept my challenge if you're daring. Otherwise it's just another piece of work, yeh?

My intent is that the deadline for this pseudo-contest ends at exactly 2 weeks from the time I finished the colored version, but again, if no one can even get a hint in of who and what it is, then maybe I'll leave it open till someone discovers it >:)

So to all the brave souls out there, Good Luck. You'll need it.

Usually I'd put a narrative into this, a little story or what have you of whatever it is Juju is doing, but in this case; in the spirit of the artist I'm mimicking, I'm leaving the narrative open-ended and up to the viewer to take away some kind of story they can come up. Whatever it is.
