Description
Last one I'm going to submit for 's contest because this is like what, the fourth? Sixth? Twenty-ninth? Whatever. If I get around to putting the rest of my ideas for it on paper, I'll just have them up here as regular ol' Turds from My Head instead of entries.So, again, inspired by the phrase 'The Long Walk', and an Irish folk song (which Dropkick Murphy's did a fantastic version of, by the way) called 'The Rocky Road to Dublin', the chorus of which goes like this:
One two three four five
Hunt the hare and turn her
Down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin
Whack fol la de ra
Hence...the guy chasing the rabbit. Down a..road...that could be rockier...but whatever.
I'm not sure why 'The Long Walk' reminded me of this except that...you know...roads and walking and...going to Dublin on foot, you know, it's a long way to walk.

Lol well the song is inconclusive about the hare...all it ever says is to hunt her and turn her down the road. It does, however, mention that when the main character eventually gets to Liverpool, a bunch of English guys start making fun of him and Ireland, so he gets out his shillelagh stick and starts beating the snot of them, and a bunch of guys from Galway join in and they WIN. And it tickles me.
Which has nothing to do with the hare but I think it's fun.

I love the style of the composition. Beautiful perspective and fine sense of movement. The form and muted colors are quite appealing.

Reminds me of Baby from the movie "House of 1000 Corpses" saying: "Run rabbit, run!" Have you seen it? Funny ass movie.

Haven't seen it...there's an Eminem song called 'Rabbit Run' though...which isn't terribly good...there is another song that I find quite splendid by Ludacris that goes like this:
Let me touch it
Let me feel it
Let me grab it
That phat rabbit
And it is fun. That has nothing to do with anything.

I really like the perspective here - you did a really nice job with the angle of the rabbit. The colors, too...you mixed in some blues with the browns which makes the rabbit look more colorful and with depth than plain old brown.
And definitely...if that hare was here in Galway, it WOULD be a long walk to Dublin...from west coast to east
