Dreamers
Here are two illo's that I finished last night. I really like the one above. It epitomizes me when I was growing up (and probably still does). I lived to dance and dress up. What were YOU like when you were a kid? Hopefully you didn't have many sad days like the poor girl below.

Swing!
I'm trying to perfect my portfolio and, after concluding that I don't have enough black and white illo's, decided to work on this. It comes from an old sketch I did a year or two ago that I always liked. I like the energy. I'm mostly pleased with the way it turned out, but there are some things that I'm not as happy about. Does it work for you? I really enjoy working with b/w, probably because my colors are limited and I have to work within just that framework, making things work out in a way that too many options doesn't.

Babies - and a new scanner
I'm working on another idea I have for a novelty book which involves babies and toddlers. Here are a few spots that I painted for it (the last two posts are also included). I thought they turned out pretty well. More importantly, perhaps, I got a new scanner!!! I am so excited. The top illo's are scanned in with the new one and the bottom are from the old (and that's even after trying to manipulate colors). I am quite pleased with how much better things are. It makes me want to rescan everything I have on my website.
What do you think of the difference?
