I believe that any resolution worth beginning on January 1st is worth beginning anytime. We should all resolve for better health, more peace, and a sunny outlook ahead.

Ok, so this is a bit of a stretch. She thinks the trees have voices. I love trees just about as much as she does. I have this fantasy that if I were uber rich, I would plant acres of them around here. The eastern mountains need some greening up. They only look pretty for about 3 months a year when the grass is green. Trees would would be a lovely addition.

Santa’s reindeer can be a rambunctious bunch. But no need to worry. Just cuts, scrapes and bruises. Nothing too violent.

I think Socmo has some friends who are kiddos. So for all the kids out there, here is a puzzle for you. All of the SocMos here are identical to each other except for one. One SocMo is only SIMILAR to all the rest. Can you find it?
As you are looking you might sing to yourself... "One of these things is not like the others"... I watched way TOO much Sesame Street years ago...

Harry and Thelma were so similar.
Both loved dancing barefoot in the moonlight, for instance.

They are different and yet similar. My submission for Illustration Friday's "similar". A line of greeting cards called Flower Garden Girls.

Once when my sis n I were kids, my mother tied two baloons on my sisters pony-tails so that she could be easily spotted incase she wandered off in a crowded place. So when I saw the topic for I.F this time I was reminded of that.

Hmmm. They’re not really in a sharing frame of mind, it seems.

I am busy working on the illustrations for a children's book this weekend, but I had this idea in my head and I wanted to see what it might look like on paper...

And the last of my black friday images--
I always think that milkweed seeds look like tiny balloons, floating in late autumn winds.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Here's an owl composed of the things that owls like to eat. If you click in for a closer view, you'll see a lot of birds, and mice, and bats, and the occasional weasel...
Wise old owl? Or just a hungry one...

It is this sheep's considered opinion that berries always taste better after a hard frost.
So funny and charming. I love the almost sepia palette - adds to that middle of the night feeling. Mmm, and I like the way Piggy thinks!
Thanks Gina! I like the way Piggy thinks too :o)
Really like the under-shading and colors on this piece. Has a lot of depth to it. Happy new year!
great illustration, love the floppy rabbit toy!
Love the concept and colours and Piggy expression is lovely
this is adorable. I love the mood of it!
That's one smart piggy!
I love the composition with the refrigerator taking up most of the space. He looks like he's simply in awe of all his wonderful choices.
So cute!
Go little Piggy! Just don't be a big piggy -- save some for others!
Great illo!
I love the colours and all the details.
Perhaps he'll give floppy bunny a taste!
Lovely soft colors Alicia
Very cute! Love the color scheme!
Mmmmmm.....cake! If he can control himself and only eat one tiny piece, then he's a much better pig than I. So adorable, and I love the subtle shading.
thats great. I love a food picture. So beautifully illustrated!
