IF's Word of the Week "Memories"


Jingles often has vivid memories of his hay day in the old circus. He still knows
how to juggle his schedule.

Nice way to incorporate the daily elements we have to juggle in a colorful theme.

Love the colors and motions, but I'm afraid of clowns!

I love the bold use of color, yet I can see that you are able to hold back giving your work that extra charm. Great idea!

Juan said...

Great stuff Vanessa!

Bella Sinclair said...

Oh, I LOVE a good clown! And one that can juggle a little doggie...well, that's just awesome! Good times, baby, good times.

He is WONDERFUL!! And so clever too to be juggling toast and tea as well as a completely cute and adorable littled spotted creature:-) and eggs as well, without breaking them!!! Beautiful illustration - I love so much the humor and aliveness and energy that just flies from your creations. They're like wonderful sing-out-loud songs:-)Really lovely work!!!

I like how he looks kind of smug. Then I suppose I would be too if I could juggle live animals and glasses of juice at the same time XD

Really nice work! The over-sized pants are perfect. Hope Jingles doesn't accidentally drop that dog, though.

This is one of my favourites!

What a talented fellow he is!
And you are too!

Jingles is quite a guy! He has such a sweet, calm expression, as he juggles his day, breakfast and all. Lovely colors throughout, his outfit is a riot! And I like the suggestion of a background only, the circus tents on the back. Very nicely done!
