If You're Not Careful...
A gurn-tastic combination of a quick one liner and contour drawing
...Your face might freeze that way!
This week I've been warming up with some
wonderfully wacky one liners.
And, in my internet travels I learned a new word:
gurn: a distorted facial expression
(Click here to learn more about it.)
these are so cool! did you work from models? ha ha. i've never heard of that word before! I learn something every day.
ReplyDeletei can handle a lot, but please dear god do not freeze my tongue outside my mouth. i will lose all my dignity, and how will i lick ice cream?

your lovely one-liners remind me of alexander calder's wire sketches.. it would be awesome to see these in 3D! I especially like the cross-eyed, lolling tongue :P
ReplyDeleteI got a much needed laugh from your submission. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteMy mum used to say that to us. So we used to make even worse faces .... But there was always a secret worry that the wind might change and we would be stuck like that for ever. Love your one- liners. Good to start the day with a smile.
ReplyDeletelove love love those. and gurn is an awesome word.
ReplyDeleteyou always have something new to show us Kristin! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteLove those one liners! They are fun and funny - look like a great way to warm up.
ReplyDeleteLove your one liners! I used to do one liners all of the time as doodles but haven't even doodled in years.
ReplyDeleteYou have me smiling with this one! I still remember my mom telling me this all the time! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour one liners are So cute!
ReplyDeleteSuperb creativity work!Your liners look so cool.Please keep it up
ReplyDeleteI love one-liners...always so much character in them I think. And I LOVE that word. Gurn. And my Mum always said your face only stayed that way if the wind changed!! :) I haven't thought about that for years.
ReplyDeleteGurn is now my new favourite word... am going to be looking for ways to use it all day now... great sketches...xx
ReplyDeletehilarious!
ReplyDeletelove the faces + line, kristin!
sending love to your facexo :)
How funny! I love the word gurn - they even have gurning competitions where folk pull the weirdest faces (it helps if they have denture that they can remove to make them even gummier!)
ReplyDeleteLove these one line drawings!
I saw this right before I went to lunch today to Taco Jalisco's where I go to draw (and eat)...I decided to try one liners or contour drawing today for a change after seeing yours. It was fun. Carlos was working and he noticed and remarked! He liked the contours too. (he's an artist!)
ReplyDeleteHee hee - love these - makes me smile!
