IF: Dusty

For this week's IF challenge, I thought of the Slim Dusty, a well known Aussie country music singer, whose first big hit was called "Pub With No Beer" - which is exactly what they have left in the flood-ravaged state of Queensland in Australia! It's a long bough, but go with the flow (if the Aussies can, you can)! As funny as this sketch may seem, many  around the world have lost their homes and their livelihoods to floods and droughts. This is dedicated to those who bear this loss.

Point to note, Aussies have just come out of a long drought and now have lost crops/property to floods.... anyone think this might have something to do with global warming?

IF: Chicken!

I just recently acquired an iPad, and was quick to get the 'Sketchbook Pro' app to try my hand at digital art. I now understand why I feel like I'm being brought into the new century 'kicking and screaming'!!! Whilst this does not yet feel as intuitive as pencil/paper sketching, I think it's fun enough to spend hours on, and test my confidence as an artist. So voila! My first iPad sketch...

"What are you looking at, you big CHICKEN?!" shouted charles the chicken!

Sketchbook Project Update - Mission Accomplished!

Finally finished 40 pages of drawing and writing in my little red moley.... Posted my sketchbook on Friday. It's called "Kavya's Magic Blanket Ride" and it's about a little girl's adventures on her magic blanket which takes her to places around the world.... like a travel book for kids!
Now back to some IF and my digital book creation.... Next book - my very own pet project. It's a secret!!!! Meantime, here are some finished pieces that I'm very proud of!

Work, Work, Work.... A Good Start!

There is nothing more I enjoy than a good challenge, so I just wanted to show off what I spent my Christmas break working on. These samples for a book did not quite make the cut. I was happy with them as samples. Now back to work on my Sketchbook Project entry which is nearly done... and time to get cracking on another e-book, as well as my own pet project. Still more work to do... Psyched!
