Welcome to my new blog! After falling in love with blogging on
my personal site, I knew I needed a spot for JUST my artsy fartsy (minus the fartsy) side. So, I will be posting things (both old and new) periodically as I draw doodle & dub them as done! So, to kick things off here is my most recent art
It is this weeks Illustration Friday challenge. The theme: INFLUENCE
I think this depicts one of young girl's most prominent influences. Growing up I thought my mother looked like the long haired version of Snow White. I loved her and being a child, wanted to emulate her. She was wonderful and let me beautify myself with her make ups and experiment with my own hair, which frequently looked less than flawless. But I love those memories of getting "dolled up" with mom on date night.
I remember the first time I went to a fair and saw one of those palm reading gypsies. I begged my parents to let me get my fortune, but they said it was just nonsense and they wouldn't waste any money on it. Still, I felt mesmerized by the dark haired women who could tell me my future and was disappointed I didn't get the chance. However, I do make it a tradition to get my tarot card from "Esmeralda" at Disneyland's Penny Arcade whenever I go. So I guess I haven't missed out on that much.
