Illustration Friday: SKYLINE

I'm always anxious to see the themes on Friday.. usually i get straightaway to work on my illustration submission (yes I'm a geek that way) but this time i was baffled. I love big cities so I knew I had to stay within that realm, yet everything i sketched was incredibly lame.. I just wasnt entirely into it. This morning I woke up thinking how great it would be to create images of my art onto purses so I could carry them everywhere i went. Thats about the time the skyline dress came into my mind. It took me all week to think of something but alas, my submission.

Illustration Friday: STICKY

My original thought upon seeing Fridays theme was to make a gooey murky abstract mess of greens and browns. After a few rough sketches I had a vision of a sticky bun in my head and haven't been able to shake it since. Mmm... sticky. First time i've completed anything in pastels. delicioso!

*edited*- i liked this so much i actually cut some mats out and framed it in a luscious semi-glossy white frame :)
