Greg Land: One Expression?
By Mediant 3 Comments
Before today I wasn't very familiar with Land's works, but in the last 24 hours I've heard and read some very interesting things. One of the things I thought was interesting was where someone on a thread here on CV said that he doesn't know how to do any expression other than grinning. I though it had to be a great exaggeration. I was wrong.
Land may be able to do a few other expressions, but it seems like the majority of the works of his I can find has the character(s) grinning. To be fair, there are degrees of grin ranging from lips-parted-exposing-teeth to full on teeth-exposed-mouth-open-in-jubilation. Every time I look at his work now I just have to wonder what they are just so damn ecstatic about that they can't keep their mouths shut.
Some examples of the occurrence:
(' Lips-parted-exposing-teeth')
Maybe they're not happy, but their teeth just refuse to be hidden any longer. I don't know. What I do know is that I can't just can't unsee this.
