Illustration Friday-CROWDED



Currently, my head feels a little CROWDED with all the pesky little tasks I should be taking care of...you know... taxes, finding more freelance work, clean out junk drawers, drop off dry cleaning, get a new man...etc. The list is endless

This image was sketched very quickly in photoshop. I'm hoping to revisit and redraw in Illustrator.

**Say, anyone know a quicky tutorial for Blogger sites. I'd love to figure out how to personalize this thing a little more.
Thanks!!

Hello Paige! I have seen your stuff around here in Los Angeles at SCBWI Events. I really like your work. I too have been wanting to start a blog and henceforth participate in Illustration Friday as well. Hopefully soon! Congrats on getting yours up and running :)

All artists have busy minds ! That is what kicks our tails to create new stuff. Just don't let those lil' tasks go unfinished for too long. I hear the IRS uses rabid African elephants with bipolor tendencies to glare at late tax filers. Great illustration ! By the way, talk to Kevin :

He'll point you in the right direction with blog advise.
P.S. Jaime, come on and join us, plenty of room here ! :-)

I like this, too. Really like the colors and design. Cluttered minds, ahhh yes...blar. I should have done what is in my head or what is on my bed, but I went a different route. Other wise, I'd never have finished.

Welcome to Illustration Friday.

Excellent depiction (Reminds me of a sticker that says, "I only do what the voices in my head tell me to do.")

Colours, idea, design great! Can relate blah blah blah. Blah. What can I say ... crowded!

thanks so much you guys! I'm glad you all can relate. Those voices can be a little overwhelming sometimes.

Jaime, i've been to your website before too. And I love your work and your site is so pretty. BTW, it's easy(ish) to set up a basic blog on blogger.com and it's free too. Come on, Join now!

thanks again, ~paige

UGH, don't you hate that feeling of being mentally bombarded with your "to do,want to do, should do" list. Constantly battling with this myself.Blah blah blah ~www.rozzieland.blogs.com

Hey Paige! Sweet! I found your blog! *bookmarked*

Great work! Glad to see your on the Illustration Friday wagon too. Your concept and mine for this topic are similar. Crowded heads! We both suffer from too many thoughts not enough time syndrome I guess.

PS thanks for all the kind words you left on my blog. Your too kind.

Hey, you read mind! ..and my blog tagline ;-)

I really love your work. For me, it's very evocative of the old picturebooks I grew up with. Don't stop!
