This is very cool and I love how it makes me think (no small thing after a day in the library!)...And thank you for visiting me too, so that I could discover Small & Big.

I'll be back :)

David, my secrets are Palmolive dish soap (“You’re soaking in it right now.”) and Adobe Illustrator. I ain't worked up enough nerve or skin suppleness yet to hand color. I'll get there eventually. :-)

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks.

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design.

This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
