SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Last Unicorn

1998 - Soft chalk on black paper - 65cm x 93cm

Sad and beautiful, isn't it? I like this one very much! I almost sold it once during an amateur-exhibition in my hometown, but the woman said, though she thought it to be very beautiful she could never take it into her flat because it was so sad! Looking back I am incredibly glad not to have lost it that day!
(Sorry to all that where so amazed about such a picture by crayons. I have to disappoint you. That was a translation mistake. It's chalk!)

You can buy prints or cards of this picture at my homepage! :)

*cries* This is realy sad. And if unicorns did roam the earth, Im sure the first one ever recorded would probably be one found on a road. Sad. This civilization seems to be crossing some boundries that shouldn't be crossed. . . *cries*

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "And the most sad part of it is that everyone (including myself btw.) is accepting the "casualities" with nothing but a shrug and moves on driving cars and using all the other comforts of this civilization without one second thought. Even worse: We think our standard of living is the one and only worth existing and we look down on everyone who has not (yet) archieved this level of technology, coldness and decadence. "

Lol!!!

Sorry, sorry, I know... I have a morbid sense of humor- I don't need to be told again.

Yes, it's very sad.

But kinda funny.

Its heads turned the wrong way silly

Sorry, but the title misled me!!
When I scrolled down, I just laughed because of what I saw!! I wasn't expecting to see a dead unicorn laying on the side of the road.
Greay picture by the way! I love the colors you chose.

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you. In part, the colours were changed by the fixation spray I used on it. But well, I can't help it and it still looks good. (The title was meant as it reads. I just LOVE that animated movie!)"

That's unique!
Actually my first thought was "haha that stupid driver, it's now HIS fault unicorns are extinct" then I thought "those stupid highways..." then I thought "actually it's kinda memorable, reminds again of how humans lead to the extinction of other creatures... and even their own myths" The symbolism here is really moving...

12 Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much, Yana! Hmm. I guess me too, I'd rather blame the highway and that whole way of living and thinking we have evolved than the individual driver in this case. "

Normal roadkill's bad enough . . . unicorn roadkill is just a sign of the times

I saw this picture some-odd years ago... and it sparked a slough of dead/dying unicorns in my gallery. I've never been able to find it again until now ^_^

I'd like to mark this for people to see if this was on a deviantart gallery. It's one of the most inspiring peices of art in my life... though you might like to know...

2 Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Wow, thank you very much for letting me know! I really appreciate it! That is the best compliment I have received for my art up to date! 2This is in my DA-gallery: ... Oh! You found it already! I just saw that you favourited it! Thanks so much! 2"
