No, I can assure you I don't have any strange, unusual, weird or otherwise, fetishes. This is just what popped out of the empty space in my head to meet the theme of "Broken" for this week's Illustration Friday challenge.

I've seen what really gets me about this and that although it might be a broken heart it also looks as though its got teeth! Now I don't know where that leads...

Very intense image here. It gives one much to think about!

Was she wearing her heart on her sleeve...
Beautiful colours and textures and thought-provoking image!

Let's just say that everyhting you do is a big hit around here, Marie. I do love this new one and I suppose it just goes to show you that, "when you lose your head?", it could be heartbreak time!

Wow -- blown away by this. I love it when I check a new blog and my boundaries are pushed just an eensy bit further...

A female statue with no arms or head, and a heavy piece of body art hanging from a breast--why would we think you have strange, unusual, or weird fetishes?
Seriously, this is a great piece that is chock full of sumbolism. Great work.

Fascinating and powerful! I like the green tint you've given Venus to contrast with the broken heart. There's all kinds a symbolism here...chains of love, pain (the chain hanging from her nipple,,,ouch), broken heart, loss of identity (no head), powerlessness (no arms)...it really does feel broken! Excellent work!

I agree with anonymous. Best take so far on the broken heart theme. Great job!

a very strong image. excellent.

The best image yet on the "broken heart" theme. Very textural and rich with a beautiful, muted palette save for the blood-red heart. Nicely done!

Yeh, yeh ... believe you ... This is a wonderful visual ... ouch that body art looks a bit heavy to carry around!
