The Blues... on ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY-

I hope you have an entire week free of "The Blues".

Hollow Halloween tree

Autumn is here! Halloween approacheth! Here is a hollow Halloween tree I just finished.

Happy Friday friends! I hope you will have a great week till next illustration friday arrives!

The Fair is in town- I must go check it out!

Look who's getting married! I can't believe it! Happy "Hallo-wedding" Pumpkin King!!!

Have a great week y'all!

MOMENTUM

Behold the incredible momentum at work in this illustration! This illustrates my incredible decree of efficiency and ambition on this Friday morning... I need to gather a lot more momentum myself.
I hope you have a momentus week and weekend!

Alphabets

Alphabets is a good theme for Illustration Friday- I should do an Alphabet- I'm posting a "Sad Back To School Fairy" in case the alphabet doesn't show up.

Have a wonderful weekend-week... !

Visitors

Visitors to a real haunted house!

Have a wonderful week!

Summer- Almost gone!

Summer's almost over! I looked forward to it so much- the long days with lots of light and it is flying away from us. Here is a Summer evening sketch that was too much fun-

Here sketch inspired by Mr. Ray Bradbury's thought's about "The Ravine"

Captain

Aye-Aye Cap'n!

Here's Cap'n Jack (original name, huh?) Pumpkin Pirate!

Ahoy! 'Ave yerselves a good week, By Thunder! (ar-r-r-r)

EMERGENCY!

EMERGENCY Halloween Vehicle!

Hope you have a week with no emergencies! (me too)

Missing You

What's missing?

I hope y'all have a wonderful week!

Moon

The Illustration Friday topic is "Moon" this week- I like the Moon- I hope we build a space station there soon- it's taken much too long for me.

Have a great week!

POEM

It's Percy Bysshe Shelley!
This is a pic I did with "Ode To The West Wind" in mind.
I hope you like it. I'm late- this is "ILLUSTRATION SATURDAY" for me.
Y'all take care. Have a great week!

Discovery

"Hobbits"- I couldn't help but think of the great discovers in Tolkien's books- I hope it's not too corny.

I hope you have an excellent, worthwhile week!

Geeky

This week's theme hit's too close to home. Here is a geeky fairy.

Take care! I hope you have a really good week!

tWiSt

The Illustration Friday theme is "Twist"- if this is allowable- here is a new twist on the "Headless Horseman" legend- "The Headless Fairy of Sleepy Hollow". You have to look carefully to witness the drama, and it is a little bit slower since the chase takes place on snails instead of horses- but it's so exciting to watch!

Take care- don't worry! Have a great week!

Camouflage

Hopefully this little guy would remain unseen by anyone taking a walk on a Summer night. Good camouflage could perpetuate the myth that fairies don't exist!
Have a great Summer day and night and week!

Covetted "Thinking Blogger Award"!

Emila Yosof awarded the "Thinking Blogger" award to me- Thank you Emila! She is a gifted, sensitive artist and I always know I will be impressed on many levels when I visit her blog. I don't know if you are like me but I seem to need encouragement almost constantly and Emila has often picked me up with her kind comments- I need to follow her example. I will now pass this award on to 5 of my top favorite artist/bloggers on the Illustration Friday venue- people who make me think ( I wish it was for more than 5).

willie baronet His black and white sketches are always bittersweet treats for the eye and the soul.. I can't believe he lives only 100 miles away in Dallas!

elizabeth siegel Her vivid illustrations always make me think- they make me think "I wish I'd drawn that!" Here is her site www.tofusquirrel.com

The Unknown His cartoons are inspired- Something grabs me when I see his pictures and it is something unexplainable. His comic ideas are fantastic.

The Enigma I love the sentimental quality of her illustrations. I feel like I open a window and breath in the air of a memory when I view her art.

Sweet Pea Sensitive, beautiful illustrations that are by no means skin deep only.

Here is what you need to if you are tagged and if you accept the award... Chose 5 other folks you think deserve the award and write a post naming them and attach links to their blogs. Also display the award on your blog. Here is the link to the award site The Thinking Blog . Okay, now go blog, think and have fun! John Randall York AKA Random AKA Randy

Rejection

Rejection, Dejection... equals Alone- It's a sad subject.

I hope you have a great weekend and a week that involves none of the above!

Suit

A mighty suitable topic for Illustration Friday if I do say so myself! I sketched this guy dressed as an Anime character called "Hansel" at the Anime convention in Dallas last weekend. Here is a link to more sketches A-kon 18

I hope you have a great weekend and week to follow!
