Whitney Justesen is an artist that I've following on her flickr for a few years now. Honestly I haven't seen much of her work lately but when I do see it, it brings a smile to my face. She's got so much talent. Looking at this mixed media drawing/picture initially I notice how the subject is looking into the distances ('Halted Traveler') and that really intrigues me. It means the person has something so spectacular, so attention-absorbing in front of them that they go as far as to look away from the camera. Obviously in this piece of art the attention absorbing thing is the giant freaking ship flying out of the mountain but what's specific to this piece is that the main subjects are completely drawn. In fact, the ship could be merely a figment of the girl's imagination, then again, the girl is also drawn so she could simply be an idea too. The hair catches my eye and to me it represents her freedom. She's looking into the distance, imagining the ship, perhaps her mind has strayed to a daydream, and her hair blows loosely in the wind. It's as if she represents the concept of daydreaming, simply a breeze passing by; here for a moment then passing into the next. If you like this as much as I do, you should go check out more of Whitney's work- she's an incredible artist with an incredible mind!
