My first Illustration Friday post in years. Last post 2011?? Just recently even found out how to access my blog. Looking forward to continuing sharing artwork and seeing art posts from others. This artwork is not a recent work but was completed in early 2000s and the medium is pen and ink. #IllustrationFriday</div>

Used a torn-up Dr. Seuss page for the icing and old recipes for the rest with a Sharpie for line definition. And because the kids' glitter was out already, why not use some for the flame.

Maybe they will speak to you as well. This line of cards is <a href="http://www.hallmark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category2%7C10001%7C10051%7C281571%7C214068;281571%7Cphotocards%7CunPhotocardandMore%7CEdge%20of%20Motherhood">"Edge of Motherhood" by Hallmark</a>. These are hilarious as is..OR...on some of them you can edit the text on the front or inside. How cool is that?

This is a continuous line drawing where I tried not to pick up my pen. Different from a blind contour in that I looked at it the entire time. When I heard the theme was "wrinkle" it made me think of the other day when my mother pointed out I was getting a frown line between my eyes, "just like hers". Wasn't that sweet? Now that's all I can look at when I look in the mirror.mbchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06864036616450538608noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23085020.post-51467640576982285102008-04-19T20:21:00.004-05:002008-04-19T20:24:51.459-05:00Inspire Me Thursday: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DSwaLSL4qDs/SAqawMF2q5I/AAAAAAAAAkg/9GFae7gqVAo/s1600-h/Collage_boxessm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DSwaLSL4qDs/SAqawMF2q5I/AAAAAAAAAkg/9GFae7gqVAo/s320/Collage_boxessm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191131673168096146" /></a><br />These are collaged pieces of boxes that can't be recycled in our community.

This also deals with the "Envelope" theme from last week. I've been using scraps of old paper or in this case old receipts and tags to form a base for the sketches I've been doing. Then I add paint to add to the texture but always allowing the base to show through. I really like the effect.mbchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06864036616450538608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23085020.post-81065567415167631652008-04-17T12:55:00.002-05:002008-04-17T12:57:45.232-05:00Dude<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cln6VcV4Glo&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cln6VcV4Glo&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br />I'm so out of touch with tv right now I've just come across the "Dude" commercials for Bud Light.

I collaged vintage ephemera in male and female images on the front and back of a shipping tag. I thought using the front and back of the tag enforced the opposites of the man and woman, even if the imagery is archaic and outdated rather than contemporary.mbchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06864036616450538608noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23085020.post-7892884588941941812008-03-28T22:10:00.004-05:002008-03-28T22:13:51.791-05:00Photo Friday: Emotions<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DSwaLSL4qDs/R-2zcHRnkJI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/dAlEEtydc20/s1600-h/Creativitysm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DSwaLSL4qDs/R-2zcHRnkJI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/dAlEEtydc20/s320/Creativitysm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182996041743962258" /></a><br />Remember when you were little and on impulse you grabbed a red marker and colored over your entire body "just because"?
