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.

Illustration Fri. - 'mesmerizing'

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

For IF's word prompt this week 'mesmerizing' - this is the second piece of a small set I'm working on (the first one is here) with all the pieces having a circus based theme.

I've always found everything related to the circus, county fairs or midways 'mesmerizing'. The fun and festivities, colorful costumes, games of chance, thrilling rides (although you won't see me lining up for many of them) & magical atmosphere have always intrigued me. It's so much like life at times, yes? :>

Have a creative week friends + be well.
