Illustration Friday: Neighbor

We are naturally curious, especially about neighbors. We ask, “What’s going on over there?” The thing about kids is they are less subtle in their curiosity!

Illustration Friday: Remember


My kids love the time at the beach. My son has a bag of shells he collected from our last trip. They always bring back good memories.

Illustration Friday: Polar

Yes, this is a different one for me. I’ve been exploring some other illustration techniques with PhotoShop.

When the topic for Illustration Friday was announced, I thought of bi-polar disorder instead of the polar caps. Emotions can turn so quickly can’t they? I don’t want to live purely by my emotions. There has to be a balance, but it is better to do the right thing than doing what feels right.

Illustration Friday: Fortune

This week’s theme for Illustration Friday is “Fortune.”

When I thought of the word, fortune, two things came to mind; children are more valuable than any amount of cash and the time we spend with them is priceless.

Some of the best times I’ve had with my kids were reading to them. It was a thrill to see how they would react to a new book. Now, when they wanted to read the same book for the fiftieth time, well, that got a little old!

Even if they wanted the same book, there was something special about reading to my kids. It’s something nobody can get from watching television.

Today, when I see my kids reading to themselves, I think about the times before they could read and how much they have changed. Kids are a blessing… and they’re worth a fortune!

Illustration Friday: Green

Cartoon- Camouflage Easter Egg Hunt

As cold as things are in Indiana, I’m wondering if Easter eggs wouldn’t show up if we just stuck to white? I wasn’t this cold as Christmas time. I’ve heard of a three dog night. This is a cat-in-the-lap sort of day. Across the country, this will be the first season of Easter egg hunts that will involve mittens, snowmen and hot chocolate.

Enjoy!
