How to use this Page

Love your blog. Check it every so often and it always amazes me how each one reveals a little more about you. Bet you had great parents! A friend from PW.

Thanks, friend. Yes, my parents were pretty cool, I must say. Hmmm... don't I know you from somewhere??

:-)

I love this Jennifer! It's gorgeous... :o)

Thanks, Alicia! I see you like dogs, too...

Don't get me started on technology! It has been a love/hate thing for me this past week trying to get computers set up for my wife's preschool class. Thank God we don't NEED computers to draw or paint!

Love the illustration!

Thanks, Tom!
Oh boy do I relate-- I'm completely scared of (and yet, in awe of) my computer! But old-fashioned about the painting and drawing, luckily.
Glad you stopped by!

really cute!

I'm agree with you!
Beautifull!

Hey! Beautiful Ginger!

wonderful!!!

Great water and I love the little sheep!

Beautiful. Love your artwork!

lovely plush textures.. I love the river the best.

Uplifting and vibrant! Thank you ;)

Oh my, this is all beautiful light!

Only the best kind of sunshine, of course! Great work.

Ginger...wonderful TWIST on the theme. A cheese doodle sun, great fun. I'm sure kids would love this kind of sunrise.

This is so beautiful and your colours seem inspired! Thank You for your sweet words Ginger! I hope you have a lovely 4th.

I love this Ginger! Great colors and I love the little sheep.

Hey, I like this one a lot, especially the contrast of solid painted cart and characters with soft background, and nice pigeons. Very original look, well done!

Really cool work. I love your style. Those transparent pigeons rule. Great take on the topic.

Great illo and great style!

I´m hungry now! ;)

It's great to re-evaluate and challenge your personal style. And IF is a great excuse to do that.
It is always a pleasure to see your work ;)

I like the mixture of organic line and solid colour. IF is a great spring/sounding board for finding direction, I think.

As always...wonderfull work!

I love how this turned out! The texture behind the line work looks greats. It give the piece dimension.

This worked out really well. I love the two birds in the front with just the lines and no colouring. It's playful and they fit in perfectly.

love the lines & texture... your stuff is top-notch.

This is so cute, love the texture and the details you've put into the scene, very fun!

lol yep NYC soft pretels are hiway robbery lol thats y i get mine in Philly or did. Last time i was in NYC (which has been way to long) with my kids i got one for all them and me wit plenty of mustard. i like this new approach to ur work too

your work is so great! love this piece!! looks like a great portfolio piece to me!

Wow, great illustration. I love the new style (well... Loved th other one too) but you did a terrific job on this one, really funny. Like the mix of textures.

It's really well done, Jannie. I like adding line work with filled bits in as well, it's adds just a little different dynamic, keeps it interesting! The texture looks great!

WOW, I rally like this one!!! The textures and lines are great!!

Jannie.... nice twist on all of this. The characters, the color and the subject.

I love this!! It makes me wonder exactly how much I've spent on overpriced movie/zoo/ballgame/concert/museum/carnival food and drinks over the years...

P.S.: Thanks for visiting my blog!

I heart Chickengirl! :)

I love it! Yum yum.

Love it!! Brilliant!!

Love this illustration. All your work is great but I like that you've been experimenting with other styles. I like the treatment of the background, the characters and colors. The whole thing works very well! Look forward to seeing more down the road.

great...like it a lot...

I love this illo! The colors and linework and expressions on the characters are so much fun!
I've bought a lot of overpriced pretzels too in Philly!

LOVE this, Jannie! More! More!

no matter what your style is, it's great!!

and If someday I meet something that gotta do with chicken, I will tell you.. :D

about the resignation thing :) I'm glad we have things in common, a girl gotta do what she have to do right? :D thanks for visiting my site!

I love the blobs! And the texture feels so warm and cozy on this one.

i'd say you were successful in addressing all 4 thoughts...really great rendering for 'twist'!

Great colors and characters.
And thanks for the notes.

Your illustrations are amazing I love them all! I just found you through illustration friday and I look forward to more of your pictures!

Chicken girl - Love this illo! The blobs are really fun and I really like the line drawing you added. If you ask me, this is a keeper for the portfolio!

This illustration is great, love the characters, the colors, and also the TWIST!...

not liking the "blobs". at first quick glance little one looks like a tree trunk, big one looks like a hot dog.

This turned out really great! The texture really works here.

I love this, the colors, the textures, the lines! Great work again! And forget what "anonymous" said...they're BLOBS! They're supposed to look like blobby tree trunks and hot dog shapes!:) Everyone here loves them. Keep up the great work, Jannie!

This is really great! I love the combination of line drawing in the background with the solid color foreground "blob" people. I didn't even notice they were just blobs (I keep typing "blogs" instead) until I read what you wrote. Thanks for describing your process and inspirations, and for the link to the color lovers site.

This is fab fab FAB!! I love your work whether planned out or not - it is all great. This is rtealkly fun, love blob!!

Thank you, THANK YOU, Mark!

For those of you who have never heard me do an interview before, I usually speak. incredibly. slowly. as. if. I. had. a. period. after. each. word. That’s because I’m usually very nervous about interviews. But Mark made the interview feel so easy and comfortable, I felt free to talk to him as a friend, in my usual mile-a-minute way!

Keep up the good work, Mark!

So good to hear your voice again Janet! It’s been too long!

Thanks for keeping us connected Mark!
