That's one of your very best ones, with a really cool underlying concept--the light going through the film which is also the head, which may contain, simultaneously, the brain/imagination of both the viewer and the creator. I'll be back to look at that one again!
(Change "flim" to "film?" Yeah, I know. No biggie. Again, for what my opinion's worth: excellent work!)
Phil, Thanks for the nice compliment. Actually the titile was no accident... I wanted it to say Flim.... the idea of using EXCELLENCE and then misspelling the word that excellence applies to was an artist statement.
As I told you elsewhere, Jay, I wondered if maybe you'd done it on purpose because it adds yet another layer, "flim" being the first half of "flim flam," and film being a flim flam, convincing its audience that it features not so much a moving image as a series of still images, quickly displayed, one after another. And then your other meaning, which you've mentioned here. Again, just wonderful, Jay.
I'd like to first thank the Academy...and you once again Phil. I draw a lot and once in a while a drawing expresses itself as a graphic thought. It always takes me by surprise and I can never plan to do it on cue.
