컴퓨터로 유니언잭을 그렸다면 훨씬 깨끗하고 빨리 그렸겠으나 어째 요즘은 컴퓨터 울렁증이 있는 것인지,
당췌 포삽이나 일러로 뭔가 만들고 싶단 생각이 안 든다. 그냥 손으로 그리는 걸 주욱 해보고 싶다는...
이러다 어느 순간 또 포삽과 일러에 매달릴 수도 있겠으나 최근 2년 동안은 별로 그런 생각이 안 들었던 거 같음.

About the dress:
"Yet another manifestation of the bird, this time a creature of power and majesty as opposed to one of vulnerable innocence. Here the parachute dress juxtaposed with the eagle's feathers harks back to the original 'birds' in their Spring/Summer 2001 asylum, seven years earlier. Try as he might, it seems McQueen himself could never fly the cuckoo's nest; bird influences emerge as one of the most persistent features of his incredibly diverse collections over the years."
