Tangled Kisses

Description

Ok, so just a little explanation of what this is exactly. This is an illustration I did as a gift to my dear :iconzdavino: for our anniversary. Normally I wouldn't have posted this but I really liked this one. I get embarrassed by showing these types of gifts that are of personal significance to me :s

The funny thing which is weirdly coincidental, is that I'd been planning on doing this image for months before now, and months before I'd seen Tangled (which like many of you I got obsessed with) When my boyfriend and I saw the trailer for the film we just looked at each other and were like zomg we have to see this movie because it is us! It was us right down from me being and an artist who's scared of outdoors, loves animals and doesn't know where I'm going half the time- to his former chin-beard thing/hair cut and my former down past my ass long blonde hair. ( I grew it out extra long to donate it and still be able to have some left .... and I looked like an insane person.. well, MORE of an insane person, and was also called Rapunzel!... and he traded his chin beard for some crazy chops!)

Weirdly enough I'd even had his vest color picked out too. Then I saw the movie and decided to just go with it and gave him a version of the same outfit.

The rest of my inspiration came from one of my favorite artists, Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss". You can easily point out a few references to that painting. His paintings are so weird and I love it. Everyone in them always looks so twisted and yet strangely elegant at the same time.

This image was part of a display which I'll hopefully have pictures of soon, but I figured I'd show you all the illustration inside it for now :)
