My submission for Illustration Friday's "Flying" theme is the cover of my 2004 HomeMade Calendar. The image is titled "Flying Home". I have not shown this version but I had to use this for the prompt because it is a signature image for me and I have done this very image in 4 colour combos, I have made several dimensional versions and a variation of this image has graced my stationary & business cards. The image below is a reversed version of the stationary card I submitted a few weeks ago. When I have time I try to paint the image I am working on in reverse so I have two versions and I fleshed out the windows a bit more so you can tell these butterflies are houses. This fits the flying theme well too.

My submission for Illustration Friday's "impossibility" is a dimensional painting that I created for a family in Brentwood, CA. They commissioned many paintings and always encouraged me to make unusual and unique works for them. It was awesome to make large paintings and get to be kind of "out there" with my ideas and techniques. This image is another version of "Flying Home" but on a magic carpet with paper I made and molded to hold the house. I even sewed little tassels on the edges. The boulders and water are made from wood and I used prismacolor pencils for the jewel like tones in the rocks and painted over the color pencil than scratched away the paint to get the stone like quality. The idea of a flying house might seem impossible but is it? We have been taught that anything is possible, right?

Hello Sugar Frosted readers, and Happy New Year to you all! I've been neglecting posting to SFG of late, so let me try to start fresh here in 2008!

This image is a constant theme in my work and I have painted it many ways,colours, in different mediums, sizes and dimensionally sculpted it too.This version is from my personal stationary except my letterhead would be inserted in the sky. The unfinished illustration below would be perfect for the Illustration Friday's topic "soar" but it keeps getting set aside for more pressing work. Hopefully one day I will see it as I do in my mind in a children's book form titled "Flying Home". That would make my heart soar!
I hope everyone has a fun,safe and very Happy New Year!!!

As it's the 30th anniversary summer of the release of
Star Wars, I'm going to put out some ABC illustrations! Starting with everyone's favorite Mon Calamari admiral.
Where would I be without Star Wars? Probably not drawing for a living, I'd wager. So thank you George Lucas, and here we go!
Apologies to those that actually know the correct use of aurebesh - I'm just having fun...
Algebra saves the day! But who is that kid with the kite and what does he want with Sunny's bunny?

The problem with any sort of detailed *wide* images on Flickr is that they end up being way too tiny. Here, for instance is a close-up of the shifty looking scrubber on the boat. Arrr!
Val these are fabulous and I love all that delicious color!!! and congrats to Ms. Diana!!!!
Hi Valerie,
I was wondering how you would get a house to fly. Yup, you did it. Anything is possible in the imagination and in the hands of a talented artist.

Hey, we're right next to each other! How clever are you!!! I just watched your HGTV video. I love the villa clock and today's entry.
Valerie, this is fantastic, a flying house, the colors in this are so yummy too. I want to live in the house with the heart on the door (but only if it can fly too).
Congrats to Diana.
As for the business cards, well I would give them out to clients.
Have a beautiful weekend

The waiting cat is a nice touch!
I love the idea. Flying houses. Isn't it cool, if i can just move out and carry my stuff just by doing that. Nice illos!! ^^*
Fun idea, shapes and colors. Nice work.
What a cute idea: flying house. Your houses are lovely!
There's no place like home with the ones you love waiting there!
Love it Val!
This is lovely version. the colors gave a loving impression. and really cool those butterfly houses!
Hey Val ttv stand for Through The Viewfinder, you get a lovely old camera with one of those big rustic lenses and take a picture with your digital camera through it.

I think you would LOVE it.
Let me know how you get on.

This is wonderful and so much fun to look at. I do see some elements I recognize and love that you would paint this over in other colors. I can almost hear the flap flap as the house heads for home.
Ufffffff......que ilustración mas bonita, una casa multiusos sive para vivir y ademas vuela, todo un lujo. Saludos.
If i were a house, I'm sure I'd like to be a flying house like that.
:D
Delicious the butterflies
:-)

I love to see what you do for IF Val! The colours in this are super and I just love the little kitty waiting there - could be my mine! By the way, thanks for your comment regarding Timbuktu - I couldn't believe it was in the very young children's section and went back to the shop to point out that it shouldn't be!!
your imagination never ceases to amaze me. great houses of course.
That's my idea of moving! By the way, you look great on your dvd. YOu look so fit!
