Illustration Friday: STAY

Sometimes, the forces of nature are just telling us to STAY (this week's IF Challenge)...

only those who are silent enough, will hear the call. 

I just got back from the beach, and my toes are missing the sand already.

I challenged myself this week to STAY the course of simpler images and bolder color.

Illustration Friday: REMEDY

This is from a book, Alphatorts with X-tra Yummy Zucchinis. 

When I saw the REMEDY challenge for this week, I couldn't resist posting this illustration. 

Afterall, when you are in Blueberry Court, with licorice hammocks, ingesting jellybeans and donuts

with a zucchini on the side, well, you ARE in need of a remedy!

I had a blast creating these illustrations with a gouache/graphite pencil combination...

the text was so language-rich, I decided to do more of a spot color on the black and white drawing.
