GRIMM'S TALES' CHARACTERS

Hello again everyone,
Here are some characters of Grimm's Fairy Tales, made using felt and paper scraps.
I made them some time ago so I feel a bit of a cheat.. I will try to find the time to do something new for this week's challenge.
Hope they are recognisable enough...

Beatrix Potter

I little late, I know. This is an image I recreated from "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny." I have been reading her stories to my young son and I have been impressed by her illustration style; she was really good with atmospheric perspective and a great degree of realism from observation. So I tried to incorporate some of that into my interpretation.

The other night, while I was reading "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny" out loud, I decided it sounded more appropriate uttered in the Old Queens English; which is a corny British accent on my part.

My Gal Posey

Here is a four panel collection of Posey Pig. 

Froggy Kisses

I'm adding a few more pieces to my portfolio to "fatten it up" and wanted to share. Gouache and ink on water color paper. Enjoy! Beckadoodles

MA_ Summer

What is better in the summer than to play on the shoreline, frivolous and free to be whoever you want to be, if only for the day?

Japanese Moster

Hey, better late than never.

I have trying to squeeze in time to finish this one. It took so much longer than I thought it would.

Water Baby

Okay, so it's not a Willie Wonka piece, but it is about the sweet stuff we adore as children and on into adulthood! Isn't that what's it's all about?

Hello Everyone! This is my very first post on mondayartday. I was invited by Sara Gancho. Thanks Sara! It's so nice to see some familiar names here, and Mike R. Baker and Diana Evans, you are 2 of my faves! I look forward to getting to know everyone a little better....so much talent on this blog. :)

Meet Tokyo

Here's an Illustration based on my Kitty Tokyo. The only difference is that my cat is black, but I thought that white was a better choice art-wise. I am doing a series right now about childhood's best buddies and have also done illustrations with a doxie and a bunny. You can see them here, along with a pic of Tokyo :) Thanks for your input!

Hot chocolate!

Image created in gouache, pen plus "Tangled Up" Font from Dinc! Type.

This is the first really big illo that I have done since the finger injury and it went well. Even though the finger is still a bit stiff; I am quite happy with how this piece turned out.

There is no secrets between me and my bear

Mystical

"There's worlds to be seen..." from my kid book, Things With Wings Are Amazing Things. (Please someone tell me to just publish the book! I've been sitting on it for awhile and debating if I should self publish or send it out in the rounds again.)
