CoCo loaded up the Choco bar packed with her delicious truffle treats and headed out to make the world right with her chocolate goodness. I did this illustration early this morning. I love to create characters and stories to go along with them.
Meet little Miss Coco Delight. She loves chocolate and believes that is can cure anything from
a bad mood to unemployment. (I wish) Have a smile on me.
Chocolate is truly one of my favorite cures for the blahs... so I think I would love to hope a ride with this little gal. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend. =)

This is charming and she does have the cure-all here! I shall think of you when I have my chocolate ration (it is good for you!) this evening.
ReplyDeleteA nice drawing and story to go with it!
ReplyDeleteshe looks so happy... and who wouldn't be when riding a chocolate bar!
ReplyDeleteYours is better. I love chocolate that much too. Really, really cute illustration. Love it. It's dry and sunny and not as hot here. So I could use a piece of that gum too, because I want to be at home and outside, and not think about graphic design.
ReplyDeletelove your style! looks like coco's having the time of her life!
ReplyDeletePerfect little Coco, she is packed with "sweet spells". Love the colors and her little shelf of Bom-Boms!
ReplyDeleteYum :)
Delightful!

i'm such a huge geeky fan of your style and work, vanessa...like retro, but not, golden-booky, but not...completely unique and fresh.

ReplyDeleteMiss Coco is welcome at my home anytime, so long as she bring the chocolate! Wonderful illustration.
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting me!
ReplyDeleteYour illustrations the colors and style are so very lovely, I am happy I have discovered them.
I love your banner too.
Really like the old school feel to this! Reminds me of the old Ralphie cartoons style wise...which was one of my favorite groups of toons....(I think there were three but might have only been two...)
ReplyDeleteYour birthday pic is also great...nice to see multiple styles from an artist and to see them all done so well.
You never cease to amaze me, what would I do without your wonderful blog?
ReplyDeleteBy the way I finally found a 12x12 envelope so I am sending you some fun stuff this week! Can't wait!!!
Wonderful illustration. I love the smile on the little girl's face.
ReplyDeleteNice urban feeling, a happy picture.
ReplyDeleteOh, Vanessa, you just saved me. I hopped here straight from TeriC's sad homeless wanderer and was feeling so blue. But this little sweetie has lifted my spirits again. Chocolate may not cure unemployment, but it sure can cure a heck of a lot.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, did I read somewhere that the world was running out of chocolate? Oh noooooooo!
By the way, I saw your Ruby in my kid's scholastic book order form and I just about screamed!
ReplyDeletevery cute Vanessa! I think I'll go have some chocolate
ReplyDeleteMan that's a nice illo- love the face- totally appealing. And the color is rocking. You brought it- AWESOME! Thanks for the comments- you're always very kind and encouraging :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a joyful and yummy illustration! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous!! There is this vintage and new feel about your style thats so wonderful. No wonder there are so many comments here!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing all the places you like in NYC! There are definitely new places I need to check out! I love purl soho too. I don't go there as much as I should. (its dangerous for me to buy more fabric when I have stacks sitting here.)
Yah, CoCo! I agree chocolate is the ultimate panacea! What a cute character and delightfully retro style!
ReplyDeleteNow that is my kind of ride! This is so sweet:)
ReplyDeleteKimberly
