Lost for Words

One of my recently completed illustrations for an editorial commission to accompany an article about being prepared for a meeting.  

I played a little with the perspective of this image to give it a quirkier look and feel, distorting it to exaggerate to close up and faces of the two characters each side of frame.  The idea was to make the viewer or reader of the article feel they were the ones being eye balled as the people in the illustration are all paused waiting for the presentation or witty remark to be said.

Sure most have us have all been there at a meeting, pub or at home struggling for something to say.  We all hope when it comes to our retort or just plain answer to something it's relevant or witty, usually what we want to say comes latter sometimes much later.   Maybe when we're driving home it strikes or when we are talking about it later with a significant other or friend the once missing words flash into sight.
