Illustration Friday: Open
This is a special Illustration Friday because there will be an exhibition of 25 pieces from this week's entries. Here is some info that I got from the Illustration Friday blog page:
"Open, a bookstore and art gallery in Long Beach, California is sponsoring this week’s topic, “open“, and in a show opening November 3rd — in less than a month — they will display 25 IF entries. Which 25? That’s up to you, the loverly IF community! You get to vote on your favorites to decide which ones go up on the walls".
If you would like to participate and vote for your five favourites, just click here:

Here's my entry:
Every Saturday morning come rain or shine, little Alphonse would be there, waiting for the Fromagerie to open.

Wonderful! For some reason it reminds me of the work of John Bauer, the Swedish fairy tale illustrator. The measuring tape as clothing is an adorable, yet subtle, touch. Brava!

Illustration Friday: Fortune
Little Ollie said his last farewells, and set off to make his fortune....
Luggage tag, collage, acrylic and ink
And at the risk of sounding odd, I often find when I am drawing and listening to music, that the lyrics echo what I am working on at the time. For example, I was just cutting out little Ollie's trousers while Arcade Fire sang a line about going to San Francisco. It happens to me more times than I can count. Maybe I subconsciously pick the songs that fit but it certainly keeps my work entertaining.

Something touches my heart when I saw this picture. I feel a little emotional… It has sadness over it. But I think it is just me that has issues about saying goodbye…
Sweet Pea said, on 4/17/2007 1:13:00 PM
I hate goodbyes too - and I have had to say a lot of them, so maybe it was showing a little in this one :)
carla said, on 4/18/2007 3:38:00 AM
This is so absolutely adborable! I love the colors and the subject, and in the larger picture I can see all the wonderful details. I am really amazed at the fine lines and shading you create on such a small piece. It's marvelous:>
leah said, on 4/18/2007 7:16:00 AM
I would love to see this one in person - I'm sure it has a really amazing intimacy to it. That said, it's a lovely piece. Plus, the seemless integration of the type is an added bonus.
Kathy Weller said, on 4/18/2007 7:14:00 PM

Where do all of the luggage tags go ?
Do you sell them or keep them.
I think you should be keeping them and one day have a gallery show.
DArling and I am always SO looking forward to seeing what you do next.

Luggage tag piggies!
They look terrified of their friend at the window. Fabulous.
Kim Buchheit said, on 3/6/2007 2:35:00 PM
oh, i just LOVE your work. these 3 little piggies have stole my heart... what darlings. you've really captured a childlike innocence and alertness in all three (but with different personalities, each). perfect drawing. love all the yummy textures too :)
Angela said, on 3/6/2007 4:30:00 PM
I like the collage elements, and those are the sweetest piggies I think I've ever seen!

This is beautiful. I loved your Red Riding Hood and the Wolf doll as well.
scribblydoodler said, on 2/26/2007 3:10:00 PM
Great stuff! Dangerous Liaisons with bunnies. I don't think the gentleman bunny should be taken in by those eyes.
ottoblotto said, on 2/26/2007 3:37:00 PM
Interesting layers. Nicely done.

mishka said, on 2/26/2007 10:25:00 PM
OOOOOOOOOOOH Fan-tastic (pardon pun)! (And "Marie Antoinette" is out on DVD now). I love everything about this one: The letter(s) the wallpaper, the hint of the smile, her dress, his expression. I'm gushing...
Shano said, on 2/26/2007 11:22:00 PM
Fabulous! I love her "come hither" look. Who knew bunnies were so amorous? Hee.
scribblesk said, on 2/27/2007 12:06:00 AM

The green balloon is my favorite. I spent a long time squinting at my screen trying to read it. You work the collage part in seemlessly!

benconservato said, on 2/17/2007 3:47:00 PM
He is nice! So cheery! did you use some type of stamp or did the bottom part with the "conserves" already exist on your tag?
Sweet Pea said, on 2/17/2007 3:51:00 PM
The bottom part was cut from a sheet of scrapbooking paper that I had :)
scribblydoodler said, on 2/17/2007 5:56:00 PM

He looks sooooo cute. Can I keep him?
Andrew Thornton said, on 2/21/2007 9:06:00 PM
How delightfully cute! It reminds me of when we were kids and would tie balloons to each other to see if we'd take off. Never could get that many balloons to do the trick.
Brine Blank said, on 2/21/2007 10:22:00 PM
Very nice breaking the borders...great pig design...
