After last weeks time killer Paisley Illustrations, I sort of let this one slide a bit...The Flies. I read this play in college. It's Sartre's version of Electra Story (girl who tries to kill her mother). When Electra and Orestes enter the town of their mother, the place is filled with mourning townspeople covered in flies. The swarms of flies are used to represent guilt and shame remaining from wrongs left unresolved. That image of flies hovering around the townspeople seems to be etched in my mind.
Does this work for describing the word Satellite? I hope so. Thanks for the challenge, Illustration Friday.

I'd say it works...considering this is the 4th fly post in a row. How strange and lovely.
Your colors are beautiful.

Thanks Tiffany. Yeah. It's really strange. 4 flies in a row, but nowhere else in the submission list... It must be something about people who decide to post their art on Monday morning.........
You know when I was looking up images of satellites on the web, I came across one that looked like a million little flies all swarming about the earth! This is very fitting! :)
