I struggled with ideas for this week's EXOTIC challenge as I am anything but exotic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday, a potential client asked if I could do up a sketch of a "Sad Sloth". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I agreed and much to my surprise, a sloth isn't caterpillar-like as </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought (was I thinking, slug LOL?) but rather this sweet little creature. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now HE is exotic, and I hope he doesn't remain sad for too long.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been so fortunate this past year to have illustrated about 10 books for other authors... it paid the bills and a good time was had for the most part. But... I'm bored. As I work on the vision of others, whimsical little thoughts of my own creep into my mind's eye in the midnight hours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As opposed to the big bold gouache and intense ink pencils I've been working with this past year, I am yearning for softness, a subtleness of sorts of simple forms combined with textures, collage, text.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And so I'm committed to do one illustration a week for me. No deadlines, no vision of someone else's book, just because I want to. How fitting that this week's Illustration Friday challenge is entitled "Beginning". And so it is... my first attempt at pastels, text collage and the simplistic form. I must admit that soft, simple forms are really a challenge for me. But I do relish in a new beginning. </div>
