Illustration Friday- Memories

The memories clung to the walls like layers of old paint.


Recently, my grandmother-in-law gave me several old photos that didn't quite make it into her photo album. Ironically, she gave me the picture of the little girl (at the bottom) because she didn't remember the girl's relationship to the family- a child of some acquaintance. The back of the picture is labeled "Alma's youngest daughter Janice 1917."

I kept wanting to add more and more to this image and finally I had to tell myself- enough, it was getting too crowded. Somehow it still seemed appropriate because some memories are like that.

Illustration Friday - Sail


I did this awhile ago for a card design. I make my own cards for family and friends. As you can see, I love working with color. One of these days I'll have to do something in monochrome or black and white..... Nah! :)

Illustration Friday- Poof!


With a wave of the wand and a poof, the magician disappeared. He was as astonished as anyone but the crowd loved the trick.

I busted this one out really fast and am hoping to get back to work on it some more. I found this vintage magic trick book online. It had great visuals and so I sketched on top of it.
