Illustration Friday: Satellite



This cow has set high ambitions after being inspired by her favorite rhyme. Our familiar satellite looks on with concern. :-)

Following in my footsteps.

Inspired by all that was being done by artists on the Ripple blog, my son wanted to do something as well. He had come up with a large composition on 8.5 x 11 paper but I told him that the art needed to be on ATC sized cards: 2.5" x 3.5". So he came up with this. I'm digging his style!

Illustration Friday: Ripple (Alt)



Yeah. I redid it. I think I have the creative license to give an idea another go. :-) The first one, I tried to be a little cartoony, but I think this one fits my style best. Again, visit ripplesketches.blogspot.com/ to donate and help the animal victims of the Deep Water Horizon Gulf Oil Spill.

Illustration Friday: Trail

A man came to Hamelin claiming to be a rat-catcher. The people of Hamelin promised him payment for killing the rats. So the man played a pipe, and led a trail of rats to the Weser river, where they all drowned. Despite this success the people reneged on their promise and did not pay the rat-catcher. And while the inhabitants were in the church, he played his pipe again, this time attracting the children of Hamelin. The children followed him out of the town, where they were lured into a cave and sealed inside.

Illustration Friday: Slither

The snaked slithered closer to his prey. The frog could sense danger and as the snake leapt, the frog jumped away to safety.
