Love it. Is this color pencil? - water color? mixed?

Katie said, on 9/30/2008 10:46:00 AM

Wow, that's truly packed. Wonderful illustration. Love the characters. Also love the one for "clique".

Ratlion said, on 9/30/2008 10:47:00 AM

Sweet! Love that there's a bird cage in there, AND that it's door is open. Nice detail!

:)

(Hey! Did that cat EAT the bird that was in the cage or did that blue bird just escape from the cage?!)

:D

Jess said, on 9/30/2008 10:54:00 AM

Oooo look what you've done - you're so clever! I'm still struggling to get people to look like they haven't morphed into someone else every few seconds! The sense of space in the cart is brilliant.(As is everything else!)x

kathy hare said, on 9/30/2008 11:07:00 AM

Thankyou.. :)

Rick,
I'm glad you like it, it is coloured pencil only.

Radha,
The cat and the bird are friends! and the cage is for the bird when it gets too tired to fly... :)

2. illustration friday - packed

JacketFlap tags: kids, illustration friday, ideas, packed, Add a tag

I spend a lot of time with young children and am constantly amazed by how packed their head space is. Just today, from my 6 year old, I have had: How do wheelchair people get into bed? How many seconds until Christmas? Can we also eat the fire when we toast marshmellows? Does God mind if we kill flies?

Woow..she is really packed full of ideas :)

Vhrsti said, on 9/30/2008 8:50:00 AM

Wonderful! Great style and colors!

Katie said, on 9/30/2008 10:57:00 AM

That's a great take on the illustration. Kids do ask some crazy questions. Mine asked me why do we need belly button for. Try answering that one. I think I tried to explain umbilical cords and that's how they were fed before they were born, but I gave up quickly when they looked so very confused.

Ratlion said, on 9/30/2008 12:23:00 PM

Nice take on the topic. A really nice style too!

:)

get zapped said, on 9/30/2008 12:39:00 PM

I really like this and yes, it's so true about children. If only we could be so open and curious!!

Dada's place said, on 9/30/2008 12:54:00 PM

I like your illustration and your style! You're so right about children! The favourite word of my 7 years old is "why?" :)

Pirusca said, on 9/30/2008 4:40:00 PM

Very nice, I love the textures!

Finch said, on 9/30/2008 5:31:00 PM

I love the fact that I work with children. A few of my favourites:

Kid #1: "I have a UTI"
Kid #2: "What's that?"
Kid #1: A urinary trail infection
(To Me) "Please don't give me any orange juice. The acid just won't work for me. Do you have any cranberry juice on you? I think that would be best"

They were 6 years old.

I love your illustration - so full of detail, the linework particularly, is really well done. Glad I found your blog, will definitely be browsing around a bit :)

Juan said, on 9/30/2008 5:36:00 PM

Beautiful! Beautiful!

Daisy Edwards said, on 9/30/2008 8:20:00 PM

Gorgeous! I love the colour palette! Also a nice spin on the topic - I definitely know how she feels!!

Kerry said, on 9/30/2008 9:27:00 PM

That's adorable! My little cousins are always asking a hundred questions... it's so funny :)

Vicki Smith said, on 10/1/2008 6:04:00 AM

Very sweet illustration, plus I LOVE the comments! I teach art classes for pre-schoolers 2 days a week and they amaze me with their observations.

Sean Ashby said, on 10/1/2008 8:01:00 AM

Those are pretty insightful questions, actually! Kids are so smart. (My boy doesn't talk yet, but I'm bracing myself!) Wonderful illo! Love the colors!

Sara C said, on 10/1/2008 11:56:00 AM

Beautiful handwriting, great patterns and layers! Very cute.

sweetwilliam said, on 10/1/2008 8:00:00 PM

Who says thats the domain of 6 year olds? My head is like that all the time!

Alina Chau said, on 10/2/2008 1:54:00 AM

beautiful!

Shugar said, on 10/2/2008 2:04:00 AM

hahahha, this is so cute and sweet... really love the colors! :)
kids can sure ask the strangest questions!

Denise Gallagher said, on 10/2/2008 8:43:00 AM

And such a wonderful take on the topic...

Thanks for your kind comment!

3. Illustration Friday - "Packed"

Unbelievable! I actually had a few minutes last night, so I thought I'd just play around with the theme. The word "packed" made me think of going places with kids...and all of the "stuff" that goes along with them. I ended up doing something that I actually liked!

Of course, it's only a pencil sketch - no color, no polish. But, that's one of the things I like about it - I didn't take the time to get all fussy about it. So, here it is - as is. I call it "Goin' to Grandma's."
