better like this, or better like that?

I added some 'candy' shapes to my larvae-eater. Which is better? I can't decide. I need to decide soon though, since I'm going to postcard this one- one version of it, anyhow...

LARVA BOY! New promotional piece!

...I had started this one before leaving for St. Catharines, but finished it there. I'm pretty happy with it! I still may add something though. I'm on the hunt for candy wrappers, red preferably, or some other kind of red-patterny element that I can add. Hmmm. I'll know it when I see it! And I still need to colour in the spoon, I see.... This one I'll definitely do as a postcard and/or copy. Too bad I had not done this when I sent out images to Boys' Life! Well, can send them one of the postcards as part of my pestering- oh, I mean promotional- campaign.

I've been neglecting Illustration Friday for a few weeks now; I have been relatively busy (although still, as always, berating myself for not working at every! available! moment! on something) but also not inspired by any of the one-word topics. This coming week, though- I forget the exact word- contagious? pestilence? plague? something like 'spread of disease'- seems right up my alley. Maybe tomorrow or the next day, something quick, if inspiration strikes.

why? I don't know why...

Just something quick & pointless drawn in St. Catharine's, where the squirrels have grown to gigantic proportions!

botanical drawing-asian lily


Something else drawn in St. Catharine's- an asian lily from Red's beautiful garden. Not terrible, but should be 'lighter'- more watercolour and less coloured pencil. Still, not bad... I plan to do some drawing at the Botanical Garden soon.

What have I been doing all this time?

Long time no write! Ah, I think I've realized why the red (here, in 'create post' it appears as underlining)- it's because I'm writing ABOVE an image, and this must therefore be a title! right! Well, I finished that piece for Crow Toes... It turned out fairly well, I thought. It will appear in the next number- I will surely mention it's impending release! Next, I (finally! arrggh!) sent out another several packages to magazines/publishers. Must keep on that. Wasn't my goal ten per WEEK? I try, I try...

Soon afterwards, I left for St. Catharine's to visit my boyfriend's family. I did SOME work... see the above...
