Thunderdome of...CHEESE!

Yes, that’s correct. It’s a thunderdome of cheese. It has erupted from the boils of the earth!  Just when you thought that the moon was a wheel of cheese, well, that’s not entirely true. You see, the moon was created from the earth. And if the moon is a wheel of cheese, then the earth most be made of these cheese stuffs. It has come thundering up! probably in the middle of Wisconsin’s dairy farms. Yes, well, how did you think they made such wonderful cheese? From cows? Huh…well, you thought WRONG. It’s earth cheese. And it’s gooood.

It's no longer true. Cows do not produce the best cheese.

-Mooo?

Mysterious faces

Mysterious face!

I have a tendency to doodle faces everywhere I go: in the margins of my journal, on the paper I use at work, and on the grocery list I take to the grocery store. I don’t know why, but that seems to be where boredom meets paper for me, hah. Actually, it might be that’s just what we see all the time. Faces. People  I don’t know, or really would like to know, but people are everywhere conveying something on their face. Expression on faces is what I really like! And Isaac says I do that really well. So maybe that’s why I lean towards faces because I communicate through expression. And expressing comes in different forms.

This one, on the other hand is abstract and doesn’t seem to have any expression on the face. But everything around him (the shapes) are expressing color and movement to me.  So even when our inward expression is somewhat aloof (or “mysterious” as i’ll use the topic word) the environment around us could be vibrant and could be having an affect on us whether we know it or not!

IF: Shadows

 

"Shadows"

I just went with it.

This is what came out as I read the topic for illustration friday. Although it started out as the shadows on the ground were suppose to look kind of like roots, so they could be one and the same. But I just kept adding more, and then added colored pencils. And leaves. And it was suppose to be set at night, but that didn’t happen. So, I guess I just went with it.  Pretty satisfied with it. I hope to eventually get some watercolors and some better pens. I hope you like it!
