Choose

"Choose" is the theme of Illustration Friday this week. Have a great weekend and week... Choose wisely!

Blanket

This picture is for Illustration Friday's theme this week which is "Blanket". It's a good theme! I haven't ever done an image with that in mind... but I think I will. I like the word "blanket" as in a "Blanket of leaves" or a "blanket of snow" or "mist". I like the sound of the word too.
This little picture is only about 5x 7 inches in size and it illustrates a young girl's dream. She is draped in a blanket of long hair!

I hope you have a great week! I hope you have plenty of blankets!

Tales And Legends

The ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY theme is "Tales And Legends" this week so here is a convenient picture I made for someone's "haunted house" in England... it's full of British tales and legends.
"Hey! You have you great weekend, you hear?" (That's Texan)
Take care- John

Plain

Here are some plain fairies on deserted plain at Winter. I like the Illustration Friday theme this week "plain"... after the opulent holiday season I really find the quiet, simple, sober days of January, February and March appealing. I hope you have a great day and weekend and week!

Stitch

This Pumpkin Gentleman is stitching up his Halloween costume by a Winter fire... it's never too soon! Check out the other Illustration Friday artists!

Have a great weekend and week!

York Tea! 100% pure tea made from the finest daydreams , handmade from paper and 100% Watercolour! I hope you'll enjoy my entry for Illustration Friday.

SOAR

The only way to really soar that I know of is on an old-fashion swing. I love swings that are big and high enough for adults. I hope you have a great week and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Horizon

Hope is on the horizon! The Dream Delivers are nigh! Anyway- it's a fun fantasy! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! From John (Random) York

Small Things

I think about the small things way too much and too often!

I hope you have a great week!

I have called up an earlier sketch for "Excess",

5 Random Things

I've been tagged by Nicole Wong, whose work I admire and who has excellent taste in music, to write 5 Random Things about myself .

1. A friend once dubbed me "Random" because of the way I communicate.
2. I wanted to be a Flamenco Dancer when I was a child.
3. For my birthday once my Dad broke a raw egg over my head then presented me with a real top hat (what a guy!) (I was very young) (I still have the hat).
4. I was raised in a Zoo (my father was a zoo director during those formative years)
5. I visualize everything I hear so please watch what you say around me.
(Wow! I feel liberated now!)

Here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

BOOKFAIR!

The BOOKFAIR is coming to town! Tomorrow! It's kind of small, but this is kind of a small town so it's okay.

OPEN

Open a book! Make mine SCARY! The bad news is they are cutting down too many trees... the good news is they are making them into books and bookshelves!

Have a great week!
