Free Falling
Piece 9 of the “33” illustrated art storybook by Meg Konovska
This is piece No 9 of the “33” watercolour series by Meg Konovska (*khu-khum*, that would be… ME!).
The series consists of 33 paintings, 33 x 33 cm each. They are all created in the following manner:
• Randomly make 33 dots on the blank sheet, with eyes closed
• Connect the dots in a complete contour, without intersecting lines
• The resulting silhouette is developed in a sketch which is completed in colour.
To top it off, each painting is accompanied by an explanation for the unsuspecting observer to consider.

Free Falling (available)
The picture shows a little tortoise who had decided to impersonate Superman. He was certain that Superman’s flying powers were hidden in his cloak. And since he’d wanted to fly like Superman for ages, he found a cloak, climbed up to the highest of places around; he ran at full speed and jumped off.
And he truly proved right!… Only… instead of flying up like Superman, he flew down like a cannon ball. Exactly this moment of free falling is shown here.
It was followed by two more attempts, as the little tortoise thought he might had not speeded up enough for flying. At the third attempt his carapace was so bruised up, that the little tortoise decided to stop unless he wanted it to break.
