Illustration Friday 20

Currently working on the art used for Opera Grand Rapids‘ 2008-09 season. This will probably not make the cut but reminded me of this week’s IF topic. Ever had a bad hair day?

Illustration Friday 19 Was it really September when I submitted my last Illustration Friday? I have no real excuse except for having an illustration brain toot. Toot as in fart but I’m really trying to be polite. Anyway, this quick sketch was done for a group show in Atlanta called The Sketchbook Project. Things that scare you was the theme and eggs dropping is a very serious scary thing around here. Particularly yolks that break while making an over easy egg. At least that is what I gather when I hear Mike making breakfast in the kitchen. And since I can’t stand eggs in the morning, I offer very little sympathy. What I do offer is a link to some more sketchbook entries of that Atlanta show here.

Foam roses are etched
In velvet, golden crema
Afterwards, jitters.

I often dream about being an international spy. Oh, I still lead my ordinary family life with PTA meetings and mojito binges. But, I also lurk in and out shadows solving unknown mysteries and getting those bad guys.

Dream analyze that.
