IF-Phenomenon (aka The Birth of Christ)

Here is another illustration from my Easter book.
And for the IF word I would say, "The birth of Jesus Christ was definitely a phenomenon!"

IF- Prehistoric

Penelope soared through the air spreading Christmas cheer with the help of her prehistoric friend Peppermint. The wind tickled her nose with the sweet scent of children's dreams. Tomorrow would be Christmas and although this tale is just imaginary, the story of a little baby coming to earth to save His people from their sins is true.
May the true meaning of Christmas penetrate your heart and fill the year to come with the joyful promise of an eternity with Jesus Christ.
This is an excerpt from a Christmas story I am writing telling the true meaning of Christmas with the help of some fantastical creatures and friends.

IF- Savour

Wow! It has been a long time since I posted. I've been hard at work illustrating an Easter book that will come out Spring 2011. Here is an illustration from the book that nicely fits with this weeks word.

Acrobat Bunnies without all the hoopla!

So I thought I'd let you see what the illustration looked like before I added the photoshop elements. I like them both. I think each gives such a different feel. What do you think?

IF- Acrobat

"COME ONE COME ALL! SEE THE MOST AMAZING FEATS PREFORMED FOR YOU THIS SATURDAY ONLY! FLUFF AND FLUTTER RABBIT ARE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU! GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY... "HARE TODAY GONE TOMORROW!""

Had a lot of fun with this weeks word! I did a collage of sorts to really liven it up. Started with a watercolor then scanned it in and added elements in photoshop.

Allie's Cat

This is an ATC size illustration I did for a little friend of mine Allie. She gave me a necklace from right around her neck. She is a super sweet little bit that always has a smile for me. Love to know what you think.

IF- Proverb

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!

Not sure if that is a proverb "proper" but I had fun with it. This illustration was done with pen and ink then watercolor crayons.

Just in case you are wondering... no, I'm not ready for snow. Truthfully I just LOVE drawing clothes and you get to wear more when its cold! ha ha
