Illustration Friday: Return


Return Home Kiss

This illustration was inspired by the iconic photograph taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of V-J Day in Times Square (August 14, 1945) which featured in Life Magazine. Apparently the sailor celebrated the news by running down the street grabbing and kissing every girl in sight! Hello Sailor! This is one of my favourite photographs as it captured the moment beautifully. I have played with the pose to make it look a little less spontaneous, but to keep the romance.
