Illustration Friday: "Explore"

I've been ill and I've done nothing but lie around, reading Pet Sematary and popping lozenges.  SO, I decided to use an older drawing/painting for Illustration Friday's word, which is "Explore".  I thought this painting (A Head, 2012) was suitable!

Stretching, stretch, stretching...

I missed last week's I.F. - the word was "Stretch".  This is what I made and wrote.

Spindly with graceless steps, pointed toes, stretching limbs as far as possible, rushing to get off the street, hoping these sentient buildings (it's in your head, dear) would stop with their imposing posture.  Maybe the beginning of capture – "we snack on Marfan".  Maybe a respectful, welcoming gesture – "we mean you no harm as we mean nothing".  Her mind flutters with questions: "Is it a greeting or am I for eating?"
