"Trick or Treat"

Remember when you were a kid, and you'd say, "trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat..."? Well, that's what I always heard when I went out trick or treating... In thinking about how I wanted to illustrate trick or treat for Illustration Friday... all I could think about was Charlie Brown... and how he always got a rock...
So while my little guy experienced lots of tricks... the tides are turning in his favor,and happily, by the end of the night... He could open up his own candy store.

I've been tagged!!!!

Wow! I've never been tagged before, but just the other day, I found a comment on my blog from Meinhild telling me that I had been tagged... However, I've been a busy little bee and haven't had time to do this until now. I guess that I have to tell seven things about myself... Well, while I'm thinking about that, here's who I'm going to tag:
juj, phthaloblu, biteyourowntail, martin, Ursula Shaw, Emily and Kittymeow.
I do hope that you will check them all out as well, their blogs are wonderful..

Now I guess it's time to share the seven facts about me...

1. My grandpa came to the States from Germany in the 1920's. He was living in New York, but had a job offer with Disney Studios, who were just starting out. Alas, he turned it down, but continued to paint into his late 70's. He and I would go to the Art Museum a lot.

2. I have a passion for not only creating art, but for art history as well.

3. I collect unusual owls.

4. I listen to all kinds of music.. I love music almost as much as I love art.

5. I'm a PS2 freak.. and lately I've been playing "The Darkest Faerie".

6. I love soft, cuddly stuffed animals.

7. One of my goals yet is to illustrate a children's book.

Okay, guess that takes care of it... Thanks Meinhild for the tag! :)

Grow

Grow.. sooooo big... My blog is growing with every word that I illustrate for Illustration Friday... But... with a little sunshine, some water... what more could a little daisy want... Who knows... maybe someday, that little daisy just may grow into a sunflower!

Extremes

This week's Illustration Friday word is "Extremes".. To what extremes will I go... From happy to sad? Being surrounded by friends or being alone? To be too hot, or too cold? Laughing long and hard, or sitting silently crying...? So many extremes...
My take on it though was bungee jumping... Something that I could never do... I hate heights... I'm thinking... I'd actually look worse than my guy does! :)
