Based on this week's Illustration Friday theme – crowded – I made this photo illustration of Kerry busy in the kitchen on Easter Sunday. I feel a bit guilty about even posting it to Illustration Friday, on account of doing no actual drawing. But I conjured up the concept in my head, performed the photo shoot atop our barstool chair (three more Kerrys didn't make the final cut) and set to work piecing it all together in Photoshop. I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out. And Kerry really likes the shirt she wore, so everybody wins.

I LOVE the photo! Yeah, sure, it's not an illustration but, hey. I like what ya got and I'm amused and impressed! Good job!
this is SO cool! and if she had worn a different shirt, i don't think it would have had quite the same effect...especially the shadow of the blinds on her face mimicking the stripes. great stuff!
cheers,
kerry
Everything here is just FUN, her t-shirt, they way she is posing... the entire idea is extremely cool! And i even didn´t mention your super fine Humor - loved what u wrote, interesting style (the photo and the writings)

I agree, great photo. I've felt like this photo many a time.
Jeope,
You just cannot be stopped can you?
I need to fashion my stagnant blog after yours. Is it "immitation is the greatest form of flattery"?
I need to be more creative - because i really can't be at work. So i think a small project a week would be good for me.
Thanks for the inspiration!
and... jeope neglected to mention that dinner was great too!
is there another kerry out there?

Wow, that's so cool. Cute kids on the fridge, too. Can I have a copy?

pish posh - to heck with Illustration. This piece is GREAT! Too many cooks in the kitchen is noooo good. This is great! and you guys apparently had some fun with it too!! - Jealous of the sunlight your kitchen gets :O)
I'm envious of your Photoshop skills, dude. Top notch!
1. Why does she have one leg in the oven?
2. How tall are your barstools?

Dave!
1. Which leg? I dunno. At least it's a leg and not a bun.
2. It's one of those chairs a pharmacist sits in. The seat's maybe 3-4 feet off the ground. Then I stood on top of the seat. Which was a task, 'coz it swivels too.
Your honey just to the left of the oven, her right leg appears set to "Char". hehehe. I was kidding about the barstools. The way you worded it, it sounded like you just sat the camera on the stool and that would be a pretty tall stool from that perspective!
suhhhhWEEET!!! i think the shirt choice was a winner too! when wear stripes though, i feel all crazy n shtuf. maybe i need anxiety medicine. kerry- do you feel the same way?! ;)
good job jeope-o-dopo-popolis!
This is fantastic. And yes, it is an illustration, because it ILLUSTRATES the topic. And you did a lot of work. I love it.
i keep saying at work that i need to be cloned. very cool. i hopeyou check these comments periodically b/c i'm such a slacker on checking out the blog..deenie
That is SO cool! You can make the neatest things with those mad skillz -- with Kerry as your star! I'm jealous. :)
Loving your blog. Keep it up!
HaHa! Great photo! Lots of fun!
