Illustration Friday: Surrender

Illustration Friday: Dusty

I didn't have a lot of ideas on portraying "dust," so I typed it into Google and I got Dusty Springfield...(whose song, "I only wanna be with you," I've secretly loved since forever!).

So, here she is, with her iconic peroxide beehive and raccoon-eyes.

A little more "Soul"-ful version:

Illustration Friday word of the week: Early
It's too early to wake up!

Children's Mural (Color Rough 2)

The word of the week for Illustration Friday was "Equipment." Crabs make me think of bulldozers...not sure why :)

On this piece for the Children's Mural I tried a little more color. (Photoshop)

Children's Mural (Color rough)

Fearless or Unwise?
As I'm working on a Children's Mural over the summer, I thought I'd tie it into the Illustration Friday's topic for this week.

This week I'm starting to see what colors I'll be using. Haven't added the colorful sea plants yet. Made in Photoshop.

Closer detail:

IF - Muddy

Remembering my younger years :)
(Although I didn't use an umbrella or rain gear!)

IF: Wilderness

One of my favorite subjects; the jungle! I put it on my business card.

Here's also the background I'd like to develop further:

IF - Renewal

I just completed this T-shirt design for a Youth Rally taking place in February and realized that it went rather well with the Illustration Friday topic of this week.

Illustration Friday - MUSIC

Music is to be assimilated, taken in, absorbed.

IF - Germs

Germophobic's point of view.

The term flawed made me think of the formation of a pearl.
