Illustration Friday - Excess. I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted and I sure have missed it, so here it is . . . EXCESS!

IF: Visitors: This sure looked better in my sketch book but I still like the way it's turning out. I plan to make my first attempt at watercolors with this one this weekend so I'll post it "finished" later.

Well, it's been quite awhile since I've posted but here it is! This is my IF submission for "Neighbors".

Gravity for Illustration Friday

Just a quick something to get back into the habit of posting!

Buzz - I'm trying out something a little new with these old men looking thingies.

Invention, Illustration Friday

Here are two different drawings I did for invention. . . the wheel is a wonderful, wonderful thing!

Smokie the Bear!! A late entry but an entry nonetheless. I still want to try to figure out how to "finish" my drawings.

Doodling on a new notepad is always fun and that's how i came up with this week's illustration.

I've also included the entire page of doodles I did for that day.

This is me, the goob in the band, being completely and utterly smitten by one of our football players, who had no idea I existed. Then, one day, that same football player came and fixed my computer at work and the rest is history. We've been married almost 12 years and I'm still completely and utterly smitten. awwwwwww, isn't that sugary sweet?

IF-Farm The Uppity Cow

This is a post of an illustration that my 8 year old nephew and I drew last night for the IF topic Safe. We worked on it together and he also came up with the awesome symbol KR that incorporates both of our names. I love having such a wonderful drawing partner!!

A very quick doodle to get me back in the habit of posting every week. I would very much like to move this to "real" paper and add some detail because I really like the idea.

Skyline. . . interesting topic. My ideas always seem wonderful in my head and when i try to get them on paper, they never seem finished. I'll have to keep working at it!

Well, here's Lili again. Here's our little sticky girl with her rocket pop, sweet tea, pepsi and other sugary, gooey delights.

This is a really quick drawing I did for jungle. I haven't felt very inspired lately, but as soon as I heard the word "Jungle", I thought of Wal-mart and all the "animals" and "savages" I run into there.

Do you think Kona's sorry??

This is a little drawing I did of our cat, Kona, who thinks it's his mission in life to push things off the tables, tv trays, chairs and counters. Why? We don't know, but he's very good at it and has NO REMORSE!

This is my drawing of Lili, our Boston Terrier. She is usually rotten and mischevious, but every once in awhile, we see the little angel inside. The sketch in the right-hand corner is not really supposed to be on that side. It was just a doodle. I'm planning to add a little color tonight.

Isn't JIF one of those "good for you fats"??

This is a quick sketch of our little fat girl, Lili, who is a Boston Terrier. One of her favorite treats is the "almost-empty" JIF jar because she knows that Choosy Moms Choose JIF!

Well, here it is. . . .my illustration in color. I'm not completely happy with it and it's the first time I've tried to touch-up or add anything using photoshop. It's an okay attempt and I know it can only go uphill from here (at least I really hope it will). Thanks for looking! -- Karie
