I collect the every book I can get my hands on. I love to see how people will illustrate the story. Your illustration has this kind of feel to it. I love the friendly Ogre invited for tea the little girl with cupcake in hand and the animals are done so loving. I can truly tell that you enjoy each moment with pencil in hand. It's brilliant just like you. Thanks so much for stopping by. I really appreciate it.

Fab work as usual. I love the autumn leaves (my fave time of year). So much detail.
Are these illusts part of a book?

Michael O'Connell said, on 10/9/2008 7:34:00 AM

JacketFlap tags: josh pincus, sugary, Add a tag

The challenge word on another illustration blog this week is "sugary".
This could be a companion piece to my illustration for "yummy".

Here's my original Tale of Swirly von Swirly deCocoa McDuff
Swirly von Swirly deCocoa McDuff
Made candy and gumdrops and sugary stuff
He mixed up ten pounds of peppermint sweets
And coconut tangerine crispy rice treats
Tray after tray of peanut fudge drops,
Hazelnut toffee and red lollipops.
Swirly von Swirly, he mixed and he stirred
Batch upon batch of sweet lemony curd,
Butterscotch cherry cashew rum brittle
Caramel chewies with cream in the middle
Those copper pots glistened,
those pots of McDuff
Overflowing with chocolate
And marshmallow fluff
That Swirly von Swirly, he stirred and he mixed
Nonpareil candies all dotted with Trix!
He tried and he tested and experimentated
Shaken-up fizzy sticks (noncarbonated)
Clusters of almonds in a big creamy puff
All made by the Master —
deCocoa McDuff.

Ok, so a bit "sugary" but hey, I was at the store waiting for hubby to pick up some paint so I sat and sketched this. I didn't have a pencil with me so used a pen I found in our vehicle.

4. ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ SUGARY-( the Pettifour-Pinafore )

By: Ginger Nielson, on 10/4/2008

JacketFlap tags: child, Ginger Nielson, cakes, sugary, pettifours, Amelia, Add a tag

Ameila and her grandma spent the whole morning creating sugary pettifours. They were having a lot of company for a special luncheon.

" I wish I could eat just one or maybe two and then serve our guests,

because if we serve them all, they look so good that there won't be any left."
   "I know, and that's too sad isn't it." said grandma.
   Ameilia thought for a while.
   "I know, we can share them! But, before we do I must have just one!"
   Amelia's grandma smiled and let her choose the perfect one and then she said,
"I have an idea Amelia. Let's paint some designs on your pinafore. Then you will always have a SUGARY reminder of what we baked today."
   " A delicious idea!" exclaimed the child, and together Ameilia and her grandmother painted delightful designs on her pinafore.

" What a nice way to remember this day!" grandma hugged Amelia and they carried the tray of sugary delights into the dining room to wiat for their guests.

5. Illustration Friday: sugary

JacketFlap tags: Halloween, Illustration Friday, Valerie Walsh, candy corn, spot illo, sugary, candycorn house, illustration, Add a tag

Do you think it's possible that when we drop little pieces of sugary sweet candy on the ground and under the couch that bugs might consume the interior as their food source and live inside the hollowed out shells of candy corn and tootsie rolls? My submission for Illustration Friday's " sugary" theme is a little original spot illo that is a used for a gift tag. Upcycled candy corn with licorice stovepipe and crumb from a hershey kiss that makes up the chimney. Front door is the crust from a graham cracker. For rent or lease in your neck of the woods.

But for the real goop: National Candy Corn Day (October 30th) is only one of many sweet holidays recognized by the National Confectioners Association which was founded in Chicago in 1884. The NCA is one of the oldest, most respected trade associations in the world.
Candy Corn was originally created by George Renninger in the 1800. The tri-colored candy caused quite a stir when introduced by the Wunderlee Candy Company. As the process to make these bite sized candies was labor intensive, Candy Corn was originally produced only from March to November each year as a seasonal favorite.
In the 1900's, the Goelitz Candy Company started to produce this confection and continues to do so to this day as the Jelly Belly Candy Company.

Wouldn't that be a cute village. I'm going to go check under my couch now and see who's taken up residence!

Connie said, on 10/4/2008 11:14:00 AM

What a wonderful wee house! And candy corn! One neat thing about getting older is that you suddenly remember something you hadn't thought about for years and candy corn is one of those things. I loved the stuff but have lived outside the States for so long I had encountered it for a long long time. Thanks for the happy memory.

Lisa M Griffin said, on 10/4/2008 11:44:00 AM

So cute and delightful! Perfect little illustration for Halloween and this theme. Lovely and imaginative as always. =)

Ginger*:)* said, on 10/4/2008 11:44:00 AM

How SWEEEET! I will never look at candy corn in the same way again. What a unique idea too!

Edrian Thomidis said, on 10/4/2008 11:58:00 AM

Oh, what a great idea! I wonder who lives inside?...
I love the vertical composition, and the colors. :)

Ronni said, on 10/4/2008 4:40:00 PM

Candy corn houses...hmmm. I like that idea. And of course, it's a Val sweet little house. This topic is making me hungry.

Red Eyes said, on 10/4/2008 4:58:00 PM

Debbie Egizio said, on 10/8/2008 12:44:00 AM

That is the sweetest little house ever!!! It's so magical to think about a piece of candy corn being turned into a home in the insect world. I LOVE it! Interesting tidbits of candy corn information. So fun!!

Bobo said, on 10/8/2008 12:40:00 PM

I like your sweet little house and your sweet story as well,just image a candy village underground, wow!

Paola said, on 10/8/2008 10:41:00 PM

In Argentina we don't know Candy Corns and every time I see them in photgraphs or illustrations I try to imagine how they would taste, they look so cute!
