Illustration Fri. - 'contraption'

6x8, artist crayons, watercolor, colored pencil, charcoal, ink on cardboard

For IF's word this week, my interpretation: high-wire 'contraption'. It's also the third piece in a circus themed series I started a few weeks ago (you can see previous ones posted individually here & here). I loved the recycling/repurposing aspect of creating these pieces on cardboard....

Check out this contraption in where else - Vegas baby (dang they didn't have this when I was there last year!!)

I hope you're enjoying much creativity & inspiration in your little corner of the world. As always, be well.

Birthday In Vegas!

Hello all, listening to this song today, it's been playing around in my head since coming back from a very special trip yesterday. My hubby surprised me and whisked me off to [planet] Las Vegas for my birthday earlier this week! I say planet because it really is like stepping into another world, so much to see and do. Thank goodness it was only a short trip (4 days) because we didn't sleep much - it really is the city that never sleeps, let me tell ya!

Now that I'm back down to earth I really need to concentrate on getting my portfolio put together. I've had so many stops & starts with it, everything from distractions & creative blocks to everyday life pulling me away from getting it done. What do you do to move beyond this kinda stuff (crap) ? I even took my 'Art & Fear' off the bookshelf today for a quick reread to see if that helps...

Anyhow, I hope you're enjoying much creativity, a little bit of fabulous & a whole lot of whatever it is that inspires you in your little corner of the world. As always, be well.
