HEAVY – IF

March 16, 2008


Heavy for me, often means carrying heavy objects, heavy thoughts, heavy weight and sometimes for mothers, it means lifting a heavy child beyond the stage/age that you would like to!

But heavy this week, for Illustration Friday, for me, means children carrying heavy anything beyond their capacity. Often when I see children with eyes and responsibilities beyond their years, I would like to carry their burdens for them, and allow them to run off and play. For every heavy, there should be something light and airy!

Peace for this Illustration Friday!

    A very touching, thoughtful post. Innocence shouldn’t have such burdens.
    Well done.

    Wonderful! I really like your thought that for every heavy thing there should be some light and airy thing!

    Very “heavy” image with an important message. Good job.

    Yes, i agree with you. Childrens- don’t let them carry the heavyness. do let them play. I love this. 😀

    very strong image and I love the colours. Childhood is such a short time of our lives and it shoud be playful and light but sadly isn’t for so many people

    in my country there are a lot of children who are forced to work very early to help their families. i sometimes see them on the streets carrying heavy sacks or boxes. a sad reality. great illustration!
