You have a great style! I really like the different facial expressions you capture in your drawings. I like the line texture on this... looks like Photoshop "posterize edges"; is that even close?? Nice shading and coloring. :)
Very nice, close enough to the advice I recall in teen fashion magazines where they desperately tried to come up with something new every week. Also seems related to the high hairstyles of the French revolution...another time when thee was a lot of chaos going around.
ok, why is it when i do that "smudgy/kohl black eye look" in real life, on my eyes, my husband says i should think of taking up a "night time profession?" that looks KILLER on her! and she doesn't look one BIT like a hooker!
Bonjour Vanessa! You crack me up! I wanna be just like you too when I am big! I think we should trade place for a couple of days! LOOOOVE your perm girl, love all your illustrations, so energetic and alive and ... JUST GREAT ! Have a wonderful week! LuLu
Ohhh Vanessa, this is so beautiful - and sweet and funny - and gave me such a big smile, like your art and words always very much do.
Thank you so much too for your beautiful words of comfort - they soothed and rocked me - and I send winter hugs across the seas to you in a flying balloon...
I'm so sorry too for the loss of your dear friend - and send my love and warmest thoughts and wishes and a little song about autumn and winter and friendships and the wonder of life.
Take very good and big care of yourself - with love and dancing feathers, linda xx
My goodness, I should set that up for my daughters hair! She would love that... for probably 5 minutes and then her 2 year old instincts would take over!
I am impressed that you posted an IF on the day of the IF! Bravo. I just posted... guess I'm going to continue to be days behind the mighty Ooh La La production machine :). Wonderful stuff as always my friend.
Your drawings are so full of life and energy!! I love them. Even the story of your friend who passed away was uplifted because of the beautiful way you portrayed her. I'm glad I dropped by.
Just realized I forgot to tell you how awesome this illustration is. I just love the 'broken' lines and colors, and the character has so much personality. It's always such a treat visiting your blog.
Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy life to leave a comment. Please feel free to leave something funny, constructive or encouraging. Thanks again.
