Illustration Friday: Red
January 27, 2007Illustration Friday: Tea
March 3, 2006Here’s my contribution to Illustration Friday. I haven’t done it for sooooo long–it feels great to be doing it again! It’s hard to sit down and paint when I’ve not done it for a while. It’s scary to face that blank sheet of paper or empty document. I always feel so much pressure to get [...]
Illustration Friday: Flavor
December 30, 2005So, it’s December 30th, my banner is still a fall design, and I haven’t posted in over two months. I really need to get back into this because it challenges me to think creatively. I guess that should be my new year’s resolution. Coming attractions… a timely new banner?
I’ll start off by submitting this illo [...]

I don’t think I’ll ever break [...]
Illustration Friday: Tranquility
July 24, 2005I haven’t had even a minute to contemplate the topics from the past couple of weeks. It hasn’t been so tranquil around here, with all of the work waiting to be done. However, I like this subject and resolved to set aside a couple of late night hours to put something together.
Lighting Shabbat candles. One [...]
Illustration Friday: Summer
June 10, 2005The smell of fresh cut grass, crystal clear starlit skies, and fireflies… summer.
Illustration Friday: Digital
June 3, 2005Wow, it’s still Friday and I have an illustration to post. When I first saw the topic I wasn’t sure something would come to mind. I was getting ready to shut down the computer for the night and curl up with a good book when the idea struck me. Last week’s topic never found time [...]
