Here is a serious BLAST FROM THE PAST! I completed this one for my senior portfolio review at Syracuse University.... 20 years ago!! *gulp!* (I considered lying about that, but you can see the year next to my signature!) When I saw this week's challenge word was CHILDREN, this piece instantly came to mind, & I knew nothing I could come up with now would be more appropriate! This is a scan of a color copy of the original piece, so the color is wonky, & it is slightly cut off on the left side. And of course, there are a great many things I could do better now. But I think the original charm holds true. Just a piece that I created in hopes of giving the viewer something really FUN to look at! Are you smiling?
That theme made me realize I don't have any pieces with more than one child in them. I'm going to have to work on that. That would be a good but difficult addition to my portfolio. Like your blast from the past!
ReplyDeleteI love it...probably one of my favourites of yours!! It looks non digital...but its full of fun stuff going on...You gotta do some more of these!
ReplyDeleteOh I like it! Love all the details, fun piece!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! A playground that is most like a battlefield! HAHAHA!
ReplyDelete20 years ago? WOW! It is amazing! You already had something and that is within your style!
Thanks for the smile! :)
I guess we were both digging into the archives for this week's challenge :) Nice piece. I like all the action and color.
ReplyDeleteWhoa what the whaaat! 20 yrs. No way! This is great! who cares if it is a blast from the past! I just love it. So much fun stuff happening! I just think it is awesome and should still be in your portfolio! :D
ReplyDeleteOH and I now see your koala for FB badge love love it 2! :D
Ha! I just now left a comment on another blog about how time passes so much more quickly than it ought to! It ain't right, I tell ya! Terrific variety of children! I must say their clothes look a bit cleaner than expected. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!!!
ReplyDeleteI"M SMILING!!! So much fun!! I love when you look at something you did years ago and still feel really proud of your work. Perfect for the theme!
ReplyDeletelol, that is a lot of children! I love the boy squeezing the frog and the boy eating the sand. I love that you can search the images for lots of different little stories and details. :)
ReplyDeleteThey're so funny. This picture show a natural of children!
ReplyDeletewow, this is wonderful! reminds me of a childhood book that i loved that was in my school library. can't remember the name, but it was my favorite! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't get it to zoom, Mit! But from the looks of it, I am SO impressed! Your work always makes me smile..and I do appreciate your kind visit today too. Trying to take a stab at posting more and showing more sketchwork - so your kind comment definitely encourages me to keep going! I just added the B sketch to my post..have a look again if you have some time. : ) These are based on my daughter and I's challenge each morning to pair an animal with a food starting with a letter of the alphabet..two things we love..animals and food. : )
ReplyDeleteWow this one is truly something just wonderful all the activity
ReplyDeleteYou are one brave soul, Mit. I can't bear to look at stuff I did in college, let alone post it for the world to see! Granted, if my college stuff looked like this, I might be more inclined. Great piece.
ReplyDeleteFantastic illustration and yes I'm smiling :) I'm so glad your illustration doesn't have sound though... could you imagine the noise?
ReplyDeleteI had to wait to look more closely until after I finished my IF this week -- this is great! Your style has stayed consistent, it's really YOU! I love the kids eating sand and worms, and the sand grouping in the upper left. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteYES indeed I am smiling - so much to look at!
ReplyDeleteYes...the original charm holds true! Lively, colorful and fun!
