Thanks Illustration Friday...I am proud to have picked this weeks topic 'Suspense'... I thought the same as I normally do when I first see the word....that's a silly word for an art prompt....Then when I saw my name next to it I realised it wasn't so silly after all !!!!!

The topic this week on IF is 'Swept'. When I first thought of the word swept, for some reason the thoughts of a mine-sweeper arrived in my head. I then considered the idea of a diver going down into the murky darkness beneath the waves on a single lifeline to disarm the mine. To add to this theory I decided to draw this with only one pen line and not take my pen off the paper until I was finished. I realise I didn't end up with an amazing Work of Art, but I wanted to share the experimental nature of this drawing!

A continuation of last week's post of studies for mid-life crisis. A follow up from the guy who said  "I want to run wild this weekend!" Trapped in the 'cage' of work all week, the escaped animal is free at the weekend.
