I'm busy, busy, busy right now but just happened to have this old

sweater...

lying around.

Drifting...

a la North Pole + just under the wire.

Work in progress...

Still thinking about how I want to render the polar bear's shadow and if I still want to add some darker tones to the rear part of its body. I also need to work on his ear. But first, I'll add color to the ringed seal and the ice fisherman. Stay tuned.

Drifting...

(Only my sketch but at least you get my drift. I'm wrestling with time at the moment but I'll post my illustration when it is finished.)

An owl I'm working on...

Unfold...

Whoopee, I thought to myself as I realized my Illustration Friday word had been chosen. I saw a week of rest and relaxation unfolding before my eyes as I imagined that the hard work of coming up with the brilliant idea to illustrate this week's word was already finished. Hmmm... hmmm... + hmmm... I must have had a briliant idea in mind when I submitted this word. But, a few weeks of conquering life's daily adventures later, my brilliant idea to illustrate 'unfold' seems to have vanished... if it was ever there in the first place. I simply can't remember. So for me, it turned out to be the same procedure as every week... and instead of getting to sit around and be lazy all weekend, my treat turned out to be that lots and lots of new people visited my blog just because I suggested the word 'unfold'. How great! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and thanks to the people from IF for choosing my word :-)

Every Friday, I find myself

craving...

for a simple 3 letter word. CAT, for example!

My slant on

Adapt...

Shocked after having seen so many cracked eggs last week, mother hen retreated to the highest place she could find to escape and ponder life. Much to her own astonishment, while trying to keep her balance way up high in the sky, she accidentally stumbled upon the noble art of turning with the wind.
