IF-Worn
The Frog Prince Ferdinand was not happy once he discovered that his brother, Prince Beauregard, had WORN his crown to a rowdy party on the far side of the pond in order to impress the neighboring princesses.I'm beginning to love Illustration Friday. I had a different illo in mind when I received the email with the theme. But when I looked at the word WORN again, this image flashed before my eyes. I hope you like it.

Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhyme
Hello everyone and Happy Friday! As a fledgling children's book illustrator, I have come to really appreciate my sisters Vanessa Brantley Newman and Loredan Avery, proprietors of the lovely and whimsical blog, Wibbly Wobbly Woods. After visiting the blog numerous times, I realize and am grateful for the opportunity it affords me to stretch myself both as an artist and a storyteller.The recent prompt was to illustrate one of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhyme's, Snow White. We had the choice of either developing a character through various sketches, creating a spread, or doing a book cover. What started for me as a spread turned into a cover. Thanks again to the brilliant Vanessa Brantley Newman of Ooh La La Design Studio for her critique of my work and giving me pointers on how to experiment and really allow my creative juices to flow.So here's the passage I illustrated. Enjoy!Then suddenly, one awful day,She heard the Magic Mirror say,'From now on, Queen, you're Number Two.'Snow-White is prettier than you!'The Queen went absolutely wild.She yelled, 'I'm going to scrag that child!''I'll cook her flaming goose! I'll skin'er!'I'll have her rotten guts for dinner!'She called the Huntsman to her study.She shouted at him, 'Listen buddy!''You drag that filthy girl outside,'and see that you take her for a ride!'Thereafter slit her ribs apart'And bring me back her bleeding heart!'Have a great one, all!

Barnyard Follies
Somehow, Ed knew that Farmer Jake's definition of "hamming it up" did not refer to Porktina's over the top performance in the Barnyard Follies...HA!

IF-Drifting
Drifting along in the choppy waters of the Sea of Inspiration, she contemplates the choices she's made in the past and her final decision to leave her fear behind. Unable to turn back, she has launched out into the deep.This image for today's Illustration Friday theme, Drifting, is indicative of my final decision to go after the dream and to no longer bury in the sand the gifts and talents that God has given me.

Working It Out!
Okay, so here's one of my preliminary character studies. Her name is Afrotigua and she's a dancing 60's Shaga-Diva! I based her on Beyonce's character, Foxy Cleopatra, from the Austin Power's film, Goldmember. She's a throwback to the 70's Blaxploitation films and she's fastly becoming my favorite. We'll see how she turns out!Happy drawing everyone!
