101224 winter Winter portrait

Dad and son in front of their house. The dad has a snow shovel. This was for Illustration Friday. This weeks word is “winter.”

When I heard this week’s theme, it reminded me of a Christmas Eve years ago when a snow storm was coming. My son and I spent the afternoon preparing for it. There wasn’t any snow until that day and we had to take care of some of the autumn maintenance that I kept putting off. I remember it as a fun afternoon where my son was talking about all the books and TV shows he loved. He would recite story lines from his favorite shows and books. It was a great time to be together.

May you have a blessed Christmas.

Formless Glob

Today, I took a drawing right out of my sketchbook. I applied the color in Adobe Photoshop. It’s a sketch of a “globby” monster: The text reads, “A formless glob can do so much more than you realize. It can paly soccer if is willing to roll with the ball. It can eat most finger foods with our without fingers. It’s really a most versatile thing.”

Illustration: The prince and princess

Prince and Princess Illustration: The prince and princess

This was an illustration I did just for fun in 1999. I was inspired by all the fairy tales I was reading to my daughter. She wasn’t hot on the romance part of the stories. Romance just made her sick. Apparently, it does the same for this poor prince.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator.
