Book Cover by CJ @ ProArtz

(Click on image for larger view.)

I had been using Photoshop for years. I was totally self-taught.  I bought Illustrator but found it was much different and never learned to use it.  But once I turned 62, I was able to take free classes at the community college, so I signed up for a class on Illustrator in the Graphic Arts department. One of my assignments was to illustrate a familiar children's story for the cover of "Fairy Tales for Grown-Ups: The Classics Retold."  I had fun creating this for my class assignment ---and it fits the Monday Artday topic nicely, too.

FAMILY (Circus 1)

I finished this illustration just yesterday... I am working on a book and this is one of the finished pages.

I always thought that all the people and animals in the Circus were part of a big family... at least we can clearly see that they trust and support each other as a family.

If you like what you are seeing please check out my online portfolio or even better join my Artist Page in Facebook! or if you are more into fast sketches you can also check my sketch book out... See you there!
