Feb 19


So here is my sketch for Feb 12! Kind of a crappy attempt at painterly. A portrait of the two protagonists of the beautifully made Danish film "Flame and Citron"

The film is about the Danish Resistance, one of my favorite topics, so I was so surprised and delighted to find it on Netflix instant watch; I'd never heard of it.

It was really sad but very good, with a solid bromance and intriguing plot twists. Flame and Citron are the pseudonyms of these two guys, Bern and Jorgen (I'm too lazy to spell his name correctly). They go around shooting Danish Nazis. Then German Nazis. In the beginning Flame is the one who does all the shooting, Citron just drives. Then one day they are assigned to shoot a woman, Flame refuses, Citron says he'll do it, but can't. Citron was such a great character, I really felt for him the whole movie. He's just driven to do these horrible things that he feels awful about but at the same time he feels he must.

I rant way too much about the stories behind my doodles. Man I can't wait to do this for a living, haha!

But once again, backgrounds destroy me
