I can vaguely remember Pepe le Pew who was smitten by a black cat with a white paint stripe on it’s back. I have to admit I have never seen a skunk in real life so I checked out a few photos of them and came up with this drawing.

I don’t know if it’s cheating when you post something from along time ago. But this is a favorite poem of mine.

I always find watching fish quiet and peaceful. Check out all the great entries on Illustration Friday .

I quite like this picture as a black and white line drawing.

Once again it’s time for a new home for these little guys.

I managed to grab a few hours today for some more experimentation with the  upholstery swatches.

I was lucky enough to spend time living in Wodonga. A regional city surrounded by a farming community. (There weren’t any of those lovely red barns on these farms, only sheds). However the skies were always clearer and the stars brighter when viewed from the paddocks.

My picture this week shows the animals enjoying the night sky.

P.S. As I had to take down my old blog due to the horrible comments and links added by undesirable sites. I thought I might repost some old pictures. This one fits farm perfectly.

I don’t know why but all week I’ve been thinking the word was danger ( I must be brain dead#!). So feel free to just ignore this picture or interpret it as the title suggests.

Anyway I have experimented by scanning into Illustrator upholstery samples. The illustration required patience as each layer is made from a separate clipping mask. A question for the experts out there. Can I make swatches out of these samples and avoid the whole clipping mask thing??

Yesterday a box of furniture swatches arrived in the artroom. Not wanting this opportunity to pass I am busily scanning them into my computer with the thought of making some collage pictures in illustrator. Now this will be a challenge especially for me who relies on the use of line so much. I will have to concentrate on shape and colour. If only there was another day in each week. I am finding it increasingly hard to juggle three days working and family and finding time to create.

Here is a fox hiding behind the tree, a part of my picture for Illustration Friday.
