Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

~ArtistsforaCure asked me to contribute a picture to a calendar that will be sold in aid of cancer research. It's a great cause and a great idea, so I wanted to do something special, and this is what I came up with!

It's inspired by Momo, a German novel by Michael Ende. It's about a little girl called Momo who has to save the world from time thieves, and it's one of my favourite books of all time. I tried to weave together the main elements of the story - Momo herself, the turtle Cassiopeia who helps her, various clocks, and the "hour flowers" which represent time in the book and which she has to set free in the end. The spirally thing is a special clock owned by Master Hora, the master of time, whom Momo meets as well.

The girl is loosely based on this lovely stock photo, and everything else is either made up or pieced together from a whole load of references that I had in my room and on my computer.

I hope you like it!
