drawing challenge: fillip







this weeks theme is choosen by the talented Stefanie

fillip, in the sense of encouragement or motivation,
made me immediately think of the propaganda poster 
produced by the British government in 1939 during the
beginning of the Second World War, intended to strenghten morale

fillip, in the sense of snap of the fingers, brought me to
my favorite pen, the M10 clic of BiC, which makes a snap sound
and with which i drew my version of the Keep Calm Poster in royal blue

the word fillip reminds Stefanie of her brother Philipp
and that makes me think of mine
my brother is the one who encourages (fillips!) me for years
finally to do what i really like and love

P.S.
for i am the host for the next challenge
i hope to see you on Monday evening
when i will announce a theme



fillip

fillip, in de betekenis van aansporing of motivatie, 
deed me meteen denken aan de propaganda poster
geproduceerd door de Britse regering in 1939 tijdens het
begin van de Tweede Wereldoorlog, bedoeld om het moreel te versterken

fillip, in de betekenis van een (vinger)knip, bracht me bij
mijn favoriete pen, de M10 clic van BiC, die een snap geluid maakt
en waarmee ik mijn versie van de Keep Calm Poster tekende in koninklijk blauw

het woord fillip doet Stefanie denken aan haar broer Philipp
en dat maakt dat ik denk aan die van mij
mijn broer is degene die me al jaren aanspoort (fillips!) 
nu eindelijk te gaan doen wat ik echt leuk vind en van houd

  5. hee hee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    patrice! this is too crazy for words!
    we thought of the SAME thing, independenty of one another. what serendipity!
    i was curious about your inkling, for you said you had an idea, and now it turns out to have the same beginning...
    oh my, i simply love the coincidence!!

    personally i hate the bics, because they invariaby bled on me.
    what you do with it is simply stunning!
    well, very well done, the blue is eccentrically right for this purpose.
    n♥
    benieuwd naar je volgende thema...

  10. I liked your three fillips.
    I think the most touching is that of your brother is lucky to have someone who gives us courage to do what we love, right?
    I congratulate you!

  11. Patrice your exact line in ink! I bow down to you. I make a mark in pencil and erase it 15 times before I get it right. Working in ink, you have to get it right the first time. And boy did you get it right. I love this. It's awesome and especially where it is placed amongst interesting perfectly wonderful things, and the royal blue takes on the hue of loud colour when juxtaposed in the mix of earth browny tones. Great work!! N, x

  16. Dearest Patrice,
    I admire how you draw this... so fitting... epigram. Fitting because of to survive dire straits.
    And then, Hon, its as I can feel your stroke... softly, energetic, exactly, so bic blue :) and: calm.
    (Do you remeber the dc No. 26... theatre? There I've drawn with a bic, and I remember how surprisingly happy I was drawing with it)

    I am very lucky with my sister, but as a little girl I'd like to have an older brother, too. You lucky duck :)

    You know, I am in for your theme, right?

    Hugs and kisses
    Ariane.

  19. Dear Patrice, I can't believe that you draw this with a pen. I'm laying here flat on my nose waving laolas of admiration. WOW!
