Illustration friday ~ Tango

tango72Ruby and Phil were soul mates.
She loved to listen to his incredible stories.
He loved her contagious laughter.
And on the dance floor, they were smokin!
Proving with out a doubt… that you’re never to old to Tango!

I picked up this book Too Many Cooks written by Margaret McNamara and illustrated by Nate Wragg, at the bookstore yesterday. I gotta tell ya…. I keep pouring over it again and again. Sure I bought  for the kid….not!

But I’ll share!

What a delightful rhyming book and the illustrations are nothing short of brilliant!

Illustration Friday ~ Hollow

Have you noticed that Mathilda seems completely unaware
Of the growing menagerie in the hollows of her hair?

The chihuahua has gone missing, we can’t find him anywhere!
“He isn’t lost… just put away… on the left, behind my ear.”

Rupa the Gypsy Crone

Rupa is a character that came to me last night while I was sketching. I didn’t intend to give her any color,  but Rupa with her magical personality won out.

And really…who could resist the charms of Rupa the gypsy crone!
