Friday All Week Long!

Hello!
Illustration Friday: "Peace"


So, I started doing Illustration Friday waaaaaaay back in February. I have seen 42 (wow, magic number. I love you DNA!) IF subjects and managed to illustrate 21 of them. Exactly half... that's crazy (Note; as I'm writing this, I have not yet completed this weeks. But I will, by god! I will!).
My point is I want to illustrate some of the topics I skipped.

So here are the IFs from the last two weeks.

Illustration Friday 12/8: "Help"
This one I had done on time but didn't post a blog that week.
Side One:

Side Two:



Illustration Friday 12/15: "mask"
This one I did just after the deadline. I couldn't get the inspiration that I needed until way late. I was not going to go this traditional route. Or at least I was trying not to. But when I doodled this image, thinking of IF, and then painted it I had to use it. Even if it is cliche, I'm happy, really happy, with the way it came out.




Now some that are way old!

4/07: "speed"
This one I took the photos for right around the time of the topic. I'm not sure way I didn't post them... Maybe I didn't do a post that week... I also know that I've felt a little self conscious about posting photos in the past. It sees that the IF community looks down on photographers. The don't even have a category for them... Ho hum.




Hey, does anybody know how to make the picture a little animation? But rapid changing from one to the next? Am I making any sense at all? Anyway if you understand me and you do know how, I'd like to know, too. It would be a more effective illo if it was rapid fire!

8/4: "capture"
Here is another photo entry.


8/25: "run"
I love to draw these clunky disembodied legs and shoes. I don't know why.


10/13: "smitten"
I'm COMPLETELY smitten with Toots the cat.
Sketch from the first time that we met.

Almost all her fur is growing back!

Here's a photo of me and toots together. I can not get enough of this cat!!


So there you have it! Seven IFs for the seven days until the next MX blog.
Enjoy!

Love and Rayguns,

ps- I did finish "peace" before friday but only by the skin of my teeth and then I got distracted and didn't post it in time for the deadline . Damn!

Now,
Go be inspired,
Go rescue some animals,
Go hear and see some live music!
