There is a wonderful creative community on facebook - 52 Week Illustration Challenge. It's called a challenge, because we each challenge ourselves to produce an illustration every week following a prompt set by the group's admin. I think of it as a community because there is a huge amount of support and encouragement amongst its members to have faith in our work and to grow as artists. (There I said it, 'artist'!)

Week 38 Fauna*
1 image
I had so much fun last week with paper cutting, here's some more.
I asked my daughter for animals which started with the letters from my name. So, in case you can't work them out they are:
Kangaroo, antelope, T-Rex, hyena puppy, arthropod, rooster, iguana, narwhal, electric eel.
I cut them freehand, with no sketches or drawings.
Each was stuck onto an A4 sheet and stitched together in photoshop.
*edit: this was picked for the picks! Amazed again! There were so many completely awesome animal illos this week too!

Week 29 Love
2 images
In a quest to keep it simple and avoid the obvious I did two illustrations this week - and I seem to be on a graphic theme with hardly any drawing at all.
I was feeling a little reflective with one son on the other side of the world and the other heading off on his first mediterranean holiday with his friends.
White pastel on black card, filtered in picasa.
I had many ideas linked to what love is, and words linked to love. I settled on combining a couple of song lyrics.
Created in photoshop.
