I'm working on my artday submission right now, but this was my IF for this week. Watercolor pencil, no digital this time. I love the sad feeling she invokes.
Hi, folks. Here's my entry for a different weekly illustration challenge.
I've been super busy doing really important things; as a matter of fact, I have to go right now and watch this show called 'America's Dumbest Stuff'. My boys are home from school today; we're trying to figure out how to celebrate Columbus Day. Although he deserves credit for his courage, persistence and great vision, Columbus was also a greedy opportunist and brutal slavemaster. So far, I made the kids fold their own laundry; I served water with their lunch. I may just insist they come with me to the pharmacy in a little bit to pick up my husband's Lipitor; that sounds grueling. I'm pretty sure that's all I got as far as honoring the discovery of the new world. Anyway, commercial's over... Ta for now!
The challenge word this week on another illustration blog is "strings". "All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours." — Aldous Huxley
This is the first of two illustrations for this topic. HERE is the second.
