Pig on a Trampoline

Pig on a Trampoline - three pieces, each 408 x 231mm
Acrylic on 140lb Saunders HP Watercolour paper
This is an idea I had, a series of images of a pig at the top of its  bounce. I drew about a dozen poses, some more absurd than others, before  arriving at just these three.
Before any porcinologists tell me, I know, pigs don't bend that way. Well, my argument is, a trampoline can be very persuasive.
The  lack of eye contact is intentional because I want the viewer to remain  disconnected with the pig. It's as if we've just turned a corner and  happened upon her, gleefully bouncing away in her own little moment of  joy. She'd never know if we simply, and quietly, back away and leave her  to it.
This idea led to a concept for a children's picture book. Hopefully I'll get round to completing it, eventually.
For those that way inclined, here's a closer look at of one of them.
