Illustration Friday: RAIN

Click on image for actual size

I've never been a fan of rainy days. They're the type that make you seek comfort. Unfortuneatly for this little girl, there is no comfort without her beloved Mimi.

*Oddly enough I am neither a fan of rainy days nor cats-- strange of me to draw such a sad girl missing her cat. Once, while in elementary school I joined a winter art program in which I wrote and illustrated a story called "The case of the missing cat"-- I must have been around 7-8 years old. This morning my mother made the excellent point of saying I am only fond of cats when they go missing. hah! Forgive me cat lovers

Illustration Friday: DANCE

It took me a while to come up with something I actually felt alright with. This is probably the first completed piece I've ever done using the computer to "color" the piece in. Practice, practice, practice.... :)

Illustration Friday: JUNGLE

I had a hard time coming up with my depcition of a jungle. Sitting by my bed last night, I was doodling on my sketchbook when my hair suddenly kept falling unto my face. I got up to get a barrette and jokingly thought "My hair is a damn jungle"....... and voila... suddenly I had something to work with. Even took it back old school style to the bright plastic barrettes my mother used to use in my hair as a child. Ah, the memories.
