Illustration Friday - Rain

I am experimenting with manipulating photos, but really want to head into a more collage type illustration using photos, found objects and the computer. I'm having trouble taking the leap and fall back into my comfort zone. This illustration started from a photo of my daughter last summer.

Ilustration Friday - Dance

I created this invitation for my daughter's ballerina birthday party this past May. Twelve children were greeted at the door with tiaras and tutus. It was chaos as one would expect. A surprise appearance and performance by a real ballerina wowed the crowd for a few minutes. There was a lot of spinning and twirling going on that day!
