In the 19th Century having a photograph taken was a lengthy process. Frustrated by the difficulties of getting children to sit still long enough to snap a proper photo, photographers in the 1800’s conceived of a technique called “The Hidden Mother”. Draping a sheet over the mothers head in an attempt to camouflage her as a part of the furniture to better emphasize the child, the mother was then able to hold her infant and keep them still long enough for the camera to get an exposure. Vintage photographs already have a eerie feel to them, but these images of moms as cloaked phantoms take the creep factor to the next level.

People are rude, If not prudently possessive.
I have never once stated that anything I’ve drawn is a one of a kind original. Often more times than not, I see something on Tumblr and think “Hey, that’s really pretty. I’ll see if I can free hand that” I call this doodling. Nine times out of Ten an artists name does not appear on picture I’ve chosen to try and re-create. So I’m unable to credit anything. I’m also not sifting through 12,000 re-blogs to track the original down. Water mark it for Christs sake. It helps.
Please do not call me names like a cheat or credit whore. And re-blogging a picture I’ve uploaded and adding a link “click through to see the “real” original” is just childish. Please don’t get your knickers in a twist unless you patent your work and have cause for a lawsuit.
I’ll never understand why people get the wrong idea instead of “Wow, my work must be so good that people want to draw like me”

More doodles of work I’ve seen that I thought was cool enough to draw. Take a compliment you damn pansy. This is Tumblr….Not Deviant Art….or a Gallery.

I miss coffee. But better to miss it for now than to suffer anxiety.
