It's not Friday, but it's Fish

This just came out - was not where I was headed when I started - at ALL. I love when that happens. Next is to look at the series and see what needs to be added or tweaked to get a series of 6 which works well together.

Bahhhhh, or is that baaaaaaa?

Easter must be in the air - or it's just the child palette. I wonder if the black blacks in this series are a bit heavy, but on the other hand like the strength of the black in contrast to the soft colors. I see these as big and to be seen from a distance, so want them to pop.

Teeny tweak

Well - it was stunning to see how many people read Facebook, but the no ball won, hands down. In the final analysis it still needed a little something, then, which I added.

Undecided

With, or without the lower green ball? I just cannot decide.

These are being developed for silk screen. I'm hoping to be able to create the cat's stripes by printing the lower yellow over the black.

And the winner is:
WITHOUT.

Thanks to those who helped.

One a Day - more fun than a vitamin!

I'm going to try to get an image a day done for this series. My mind is spinning with possibilities and I have to keep moving to get to the next one.
I'm starting to think this group has some promise for a number of applications. We'll see. Right now, I just want to do more. They make me smile.

I'm posting them on the i-spot portfolio - could be fun for illustrations. We'll see if they get hits.

The i-spot is cool, because I can switch images up at will and learn what gets response and what doesn't.

New direction

Today I opened Adobe Illustrator for the first time in 18+ years. It was familiar, yet foreign and VERY frustrating. BUT - it made me work in a way that's different from my usual and it showed in the imagery. I wanted flat color (long story - will come later), but in the end I worked in Photoshop. I need "Illustrator for Dummies" or something. Here are a couple of the resulting images...REALLY having fun and can't wait to do more with this series...or some others that have burbled to the surface. I could play at this all day - quite meditative.
