Luke unearthed some amazing images the other day, images so intoxicating that I’m compelled to respond with a few more. As always, Fotolia proved to be a bountiful resource.
The two major themes for Fotolia CGI artists seem to be hot babes and leprechauns. What is happening in the first image? Did drinking that bottle of wine give him raging mouth sores? Is it a cautionary tale?
I don’t think it’s a sore but rather an out-of-mouth wine driplet; or possibly a bubbly wine belch emanating from the just closed mouth — hence the left hand floating near the face in a gesture that indicates embarrassment/self consciousness. As far as I can tell, this image isn’t so much symbolic or cautionary, but rather it’s just a realists rendition: there’s no judgment here, just accurate representation.
