I was going to post more about the Minneapolis Inistitute of the Arts exhibits that are in this page, but I am really sick right now. I’ll try to post it tomorrow if I feel better.
UPDATE: I am feeling a lot better now. Here’s the promised update on the art featured in this comic.
Mother With Child - I could not find a picture of the original on the MIA website. The closet match I could find was this. The picture is based on a sketch I made when visiting the museum.
Cartonnage of Lady Tashat – An awesome Egyptian coffin.
The Game of Go - I didn’t draw in the seam on this one as I throught it might be distracting.
Scenes of Plains Indian Life - A buffalo hunt painted on elkhide.
Dance Mask – A West African dance mask.
Little Servant Girl – I really like the elongated features on this one.
More art to come next Wednesday!
Beautiful page. Get better Ryan.
Hope you feel better!
((I love how this comic is always on time.))
Hey Ryan, hope you feel better soon. I’m going to try to get a guest comic done for you that I’ll hand to you at the jam this week. I like this strip! I usually need to roam the halls of the MIA from time to time to get my “culture/fine arts fix”. I like the diversity of cultural items you spotlighted here.
Hope you feel better
To Dan – Thanks!
To MonsterTwin – I do my best to make on time updates. This one I lucked out on since I had it done before Saturday. There was no way I could have finished otherwise.
To Jon – Looking forward to the guest comic. Glad you noticed the diversity of items, as that was really what I was going for.
To Jenny – Thanks!
That takes me back. I haven’t been to MIA yet, but I used to go to the art museum in Cincinnati a lot, just to look around and think.
Museums are nice places to think.
