This week, I have two drawings for Illustration Friday. My first one had something to do with hair drifting upwards or gravity drifting somewhere or something doing something. I like the drawing, but by the time it was done, it seemed like quite a stretch, so now it's simply named "Hair Bow".
I decided to figure out something that was a little tad more obvious for the theme, so I came up with this:
It makes me think of "drifting" out of my shoes at the end of a long day at work and wandering around the apartment barefoot while relaxing. Ahh... (Until, of course, I stumble across a hairball or other lovely present from the kitties.)
They're both a bit different from what I normally do, which is what I love about Illustration Friday. The prompts always spark an idea that is something new and that I have not done before, so I have to think a bit outside my little box to execute them. I often worry that new pieces will be too far from my regular style and thus will alienate the fan base I have built up over the years, but then I remember how vastly different Picasso's works were and settle on telling myself that I'm simply in my rose period.
And now I'm off to eat some (hopefully) delicious yak burgers that Kieran has prepared. I love the crazy foods you can find at the various Portland farmer's markets.
