Illustration Friday - Superstition

Illustration Friday - Superstition, originally uploaded by creativeFlutter AKA MazerDesign.

My take on "superstition". This was a pencil drawing then I redrew it into PS and added a few details. The patterned textures are from Angie Briggs - Bubblegum Machine - Digital Scrapbooking set.

Little story to go with it: When little Matilda wanted to play with her new umbrella indoors, her mother quickly scolded her and told her it was bad luck. Guess her mother was a bit "superstitious". So being the good little girl that she was, she went outdoors and played with her new friends (the birds).

Enjoy! :)

So I'm a few days late but it's better than never!!

All the other birds admired George's lovely but unusual scales ... and George was proud!

Illustration Friday - Trick or Treat

Poor little ghost can't seem to reach the candy corn, the tree is playing a mean trick on this little guy. His buddy hiding behind the tree has obviously scared the cat and doesn't really seem to care about the candy dangling in front of them.

My little Halloween themed piece of art was quite the challenge for me. I didn't want to do something obvious but it still ended up that way. I think it's cute though. Enjoy!

Just some eye candy for you to look at today! I did this while Lo was napping, my poor house is seriously neglected! :) OH WELL, I've got art on the brain! Enjoy!

Illustration Friday - Grow

Today's topic for IF was "Grow", I had thought of doing something a little more obvious that included plants or flowers but then this idea hit me! My little 9 month old daughter is constantly growing like a weed and growing out of her socks, hence my little illo for today. The text at the top says, "as they family grew, so did their socks." I had to include my "Swirlyville" birds because they're so friendly and fun!!! Enjoy!

Fall Speaks

Just a new image I created today while my daughter was napping. I was feeling super creative with thoughts of Fall running around in my head. It's sooo cold out today so this print just warmed me up. This is now my newest print in my Etsy shop. Check it out!

Illustration Friday - "Extreme"

Illustration Friday topic "Extreme", originally uploaded by creativeFlutter.

My concept for this weeks topic "Extreme". It's basically just an extremely twisted tree with a little Fall theme thrown in. All drawn in Photoshop using different brushes and my trusty little Wacom that I LOVE! Not sure if I'll sell it as a print yet or just keep it to myself. Opinions? Update: It's now a print in my Etsy shop! LOL

Open - Illustration Friday

Open - Illustration Friday, originally uploaded by creativeFlutter.

My design for this week's IF topic "open". The concept being her arms are open to everyone, you need to have an open heart, she's in the opening of the circle. This is a photo I took in Montreal, Quebec a few years back. It's a statue on the facade of Notre Dame, I thought it was beautiful as I had never noticed it before, I've been to this church a million times to look at its beauty and this day just noticed this statue of Mary. Crazy what you see and don't see, huh? I think it illustrates the topic well! Enjoy!!!

The Juggle

The Juggle, originally uploaded by creativeFlutter.

Just my little drawing for this weeks Illustration Friday theme "Juggle". The concept is that one branch is trying to juggle all the little birdies, the last little red birdie is falling off so he's trying to hold on!! Can you tell I love birdies!!?? Digitally drawn into Photoshop with my Wacom. Enjoy! This is also on products in my Cafepress shop and prints in my Etsy shop.

Wedding - Illustration Friday

I was trying to think of what I could for the wedding theme on IF and lately I've been on a bird kick. This is what I came up with as a quick idea. I don't have much time to work on it this week so this will have to do. I think it's cute though. The idea is when you get married you're hearts are locked tight together with the key, hence "you have the key".

Frida!

Frida!, originally uploaded by mazer73.

Frida Kahlo is one of the most interesting artists I've had the chance to study about. Known for her very different artwork and her unibrow that she painted in all her self portraits she was from Mexico. While listening to the Gipsy Kings I tried to capture the vivid bright colors she would wear and paint with. This piece was digitally drawn into Photoshop. This is for sale as a print in my Etsy shop.
