Illustration Friday - SPARK (A blast from the past!)

Click to un-fuzz

Well, it's more like a "blaze" than a "spark" and a rather fuzzy scan, at that, but I wasn't able to squeeze a new drawing in this week (& Illustration Friday wasn't able to change the prompt this week, either!) so it will have to do! This is actually a MAJOR blast from the past - it is a scan of a promotional postcard I had printed back in college....21 years ago! (Ugh!)  My college friend, Jodi, recently dug up the collection of postcards from our senior class  & made me think of it, so I thought I'd share....I loved this piece back then, and surprisingly, I'm still liking it now! I know a lot of artists look back at their older work and cringe, so I guess I'm pretty lucky......or else, maybe my eyesight is going...........

And I just received copies of the coloring book I did for Big Cat Rescue's "March for Lions" event that was held last weekend! It's always exciting to see a project in it's final, printed form, and even better to learn that the event it was tied to was a BIG success! Big Cat Rescue does wonderful work, and I was happy to participate in their mission of awareness!!!

  2. Both images are great. Love the toasty scene with the variety of animals, it is SO your style and fun/lovely! You should be very proud of the coloring book, I especially like the interactions between the characters and the emotions that creates. Really great work. :D

  3. Love your warm, cozy "spark" illustration! Sometimes looking back on old work is just the inspiration we need. Colouring book look like fun too!
