Here is one of my newest drawings.  The Illustration Friday word this week is "creature" so this is what I came up with.  Such an appropriate word with Halloween just days away now.  So, happy (almost) Halloween!

It's been a while since I've created anything.  It's been a crazy few months and I'm hoping to make more art and to focus in on being more creative now that the insanity is starting to die down. 

omni art house submission ... gnome matryoshkas

this is my most recent submission for the Omni Art House gallery.  the topic to illustrate was "gnome", which i love, probably because it was my topic idea that was chosen this time.  (woo-hoo!)  it feels soooo good to be drawing again.  i get in these slumps where it seems impossible to find time to be creative but once i start drawing again it just feels awesome and amazing and great and therapeutic and wonderful.

(note to self: keep drawing!!!!)

for frank...

this piece is very special to me because i made it for a childhood friend.  what she has gone through in the past year is more than i could ever imaging going through.  she was pregnant with baby frank, who was was stillborn at 26 weeks.  she has been unbelievably strong and so courageous throughout it all.  i can only imagine how hard that must be.  please read her story here (motheringfrank.blogspot.com) - you will, no doubt, be inspired by her journey.
