Up and Away

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly
By Jimmy Web
Here’s one I’ve been working on for a little while now. I think it’ll be the next promotional postcard!

Holy crap, Roberta! Quit hogging all the talent. Save some for the rest of us.
This is beautiful!

Lots of nice detail in the balloon illustration. Like the print in the lady’s hat and dress.

Hey where have I been I have missed your last few works! I have been working too hard UGH,
Haha! I love this one, just great diagonals but really well balanced and lots of happy fun faces and joyful colour. It’s like being a child again. Beautiful work and I’m glad I saw it!
