Description A NUMBER of Flies were attracted to a jar of honey which had been overturned in a housekeeper's room, and placing their feet in it, ate greedily. Their feet, however, became so smeared with the honey that they could not use their wings, nor release themselves, and were suffocated. Just as they were expiring, they exclaimed, "O foolish creatures that we are, for the sake of a little pleasure we have destroyed ourselves." –Aesop’s Fables

This is my second peice for my ap concentration, which is on bugs... it was due on tuesday last week.. oh how have I gotten so behind? T^T
This is sharpie, poster paint, and glue. and yes, those are flies stuck on pins
Oh my, the quality sucks, doesn't it? And it is terribly cut off... Oh well

I think this is one of my favorites of your AP concentration. I like how it looks almost like a block print with a more flat surface than your other pieces. Very well done, lovely color choice and contrast!

thanks! I started this over three times before I liked it, and I turned it in a week late, but I'm glad I did. It represents me trying something new, which is really good. it's one of my teachers favorites too

even though the flies are supposedly dead, the colours make them look so lively!

This is extremely awesome.
I can't stand bugs and this caught my eye.
I love the detail and the coloring of the flies.
Its very symbolic of how many people would say they feel.
I really love this. Great job!
