Everyone loves to Sulk

I can't believe how popular this illustration is getting on DeviantART. It's been 'favourited' by over 50 people now, which to me is a big deal!
I think I used to really under-estimate it as a piece of work. Originally it was for an exhibition at university, as part of an exchange program with a couple of colleges of art in Japan. I was hoping a trip over with the work we all did might be involved, seeing as the Japanese students came to visit us...nevermind eh!?

But anyway, the theme of the exhibition was "Places and Spaces I Have Never Been". So the illustration is my take on that idea. I was obsessed with the Moon as a kid, I still thinks it's pretty cool now! But it's also a take on the worlds we create as a child and the worlds within our own world, the woodlice have their own world, which we never experience, just because we're far too big. Aside from the theme maybe its just a snapshot of my childhood. And perhaps not just mine, maybe that's appeal, maybe other people see a little bit of the kids they used to be in the image.
