Ihmisten edessä (In front of the people) by Jenni Vartiainen

The streets are being filled with people, they know nothing of us.
You wait for me at the station, perhaps the clock will
forgive me
I run the rest of the way, you
are beautiful as always
in your high heels

You say: tonight we’ll walk hand in hand
in front of the people
Don’t you care about the others’ looks
because we are together
They know nothing, they don’t belong in this story
that is read to a few

The streets are being filled with voices, someone calls after us.
You are the stronger of us, with you I’m not afraid
of the dark of the city
Near the crowd of people, you hold (my hand) tighter
and my fear disappears.

Because tonight we’ll walk hand in hand
in front of the people
Don’t you care about the others’ looks
because we are together
They know nothing, they don’t belong in this story
that is read to a few

This is read to a few

They know nothing, they don’t belong in this story
that is read to a few

The whole picture is like a book, a living one, since it was said it is a story. I imagined the pair walking in cold autumn weather on grey unwarmly streets. If you listen to the song, there is even a slight sound of tamburin, which you can see on the edge of the open book (hint hint)

I tryed to tell here alot of things, with lot of symbols, and their positions....who looks will see, who listens will hear.

I wish I could see more pairs like this walking in the streets.
They are incredibly rare. Why...leaves alot of questions open and blames many too, but mostly them self.

materials: gray carton paper, colored pencils, graphit pencils, white conte pastel pencil
enjoy~

Nicely done. Especially the composition, even though I'm used to more 'cluttered' designs (proste mam rada ked je tam toho viac). The colors remind me of the Concrete Garden illustration you did. I also kind of wonder what it would do to the picture if you diffused some parts with water (those, ARE water-pencil, aren't they?). Don't kill me, I like it Sanii, but you know how I like to take things further (and you asked for critique, but since I can't find things that are wrong with it, I comment on technique )...

saniika In reply to Rabbidt [2008-03-18 11:46:06 +0000 UTC]

No, they arent auqrel colors just simple color pencils....I thought understand what you mean I knwo it is sort of very empty but that was a part of the concept. It´s tale a book which is unwritten, it is to be written and if it is writen down already not everyone can see it...(going out of the lyrics.)

I am glad you liekd it a bit, xd and yeap..there is certainyl resemblance with Garden picture. I like to draw old burned paper and old yellow color...I can´t explain...

Páči sa mi farebnosť, aj keď by som skôr povedala, že sa prechádzajú v podvečer, keď sa zapínajú lampy a ešte nie je úlná tma.
Hľadala som aj nejaké symboly, našla som: u druhej postavy trochu skrčenú pozíciu tela a zakryté oči (pravdepodobne sa necíti moc isto v danej pozícií. Prvá postava má smutný pohľad a zakryté ústa (buď nechce niečo povedať alebo nemôže). Takisto jeseň je medzi letom a zimou, postavy sa nachádzajú niekde na rozhraní niečoho.
Rada by poznala tvoj výklad, ak môžem. (Ja viem som strašná socka, ale prosím, prosím)

Todella kaunis tribuutti Vartiaisen upeille lyriikoille. Värit ja piirrostyyli ovat kumpikin mitä sopivimmat. ^^

I´m so sorry! I automatically thought that you were from Finland.

What I said in the earlier comment was: Such a beautiful tribute for Vartiainen´s lyrics. The colors and drawing style fit the topic perfectly.

It really is a marvellous pic. ^^

Simply beautiful... That's all I can say....

This sng means a lot to me, so it's an instant fave, I love the way you used the colours and I love the whole book-thing. Somehow it's weird to see finnish writing on your work, but it only makes this more interesting for us finns. : D

Thank you for making this picture.
