Illustration Friday: Multiple

I have been playing around with Photoshop this week. It's been fun for me, since it requires only the computer and no paints, pencils, or other supplies.

I took a job tutoring part time in a public school in Phoenix. It is an interesting job. All my kids are really sweet, and very motivated. My kindergarten class yesterday chose to continue doing math rather than have a story read to them. So either I am a fantastic math teacher or a lousy storyteller, take your pick.

The unfortunate subjects of my recent diversion into Photoshop have had the great embarassment of having their mugshots displayed on the web for all to see. It is a common practice here in Arizona to do that with drunk drivers. I don't know if that deters them any, although being the subject of my art might. Anyway, if you are interested in multiple prints of one of these for your guest bathroom, let me know. I may put them on cafepress if I think anyone cares.

Yeah, who am I kidding...

Illustration Friday: Blanket

The Super Bowl is happening right now. I am one of only 3 people in the United States not watching it. The other two are in comas. The Super Bowl is taking place only a few miles from my house. I took that as a good sign to not leave my house today. I can only imagine what traffic must be like around the stadium, and afterwards, the sheer volume of drunks on the road would seem to make all forms of travel unadvisable.

I played around with an old drawing and some pages from a Heloise book and my photocopier. It stands in my living room.

Why? Where do you keep yours?

I haven't done any work for Illustration Friday recently, as I have been sewing. My children think I need to update my look. I know they are right. I have become aware that I look OK in purple, which is a sure sign I am getting old. I think I will buy a red hat.
