13: Rerun
I'm off to dedicate the next few chunks of my time to a project I signed on to with about 50 other members of HOW magazine's online forums: The HOWieZine. The HOWieZine operates much like Illustration Friday, only it's more like Illustration OnceInAWhile. Contributors pick a theme (this issue is black and white), build two pages dealing with their interpretation of the theme, print as many copies as there are contributors, mail them to one super-dedicated soul who volunteers to craft them into books and then mails out said books – made up of everyone's submissions – back to all who took part.
So while I go about crafting my HOWieZine contribution, I dug deep into the JeopeVault and pulled this drawing to represent this week's Illustration Friday theme – the word travel. This sketch is from a book Kerry and I made for her niece and nephew one Christmas. Kerry wrote the story, I drew the pictures. It was an awesome collaboration. It's still one of the favourite things I've ever made. So...Merry Christmas!

cheers,

this illustration is cute. am worried about the kid though, it looks like he'll break a bone or two =o(
Looks like something I would do when I was in the first grade. Luckily, there were no face plants, which appears to be the case here.
Great movement in the illustration. I would like to know what happen to the poor fellow though. I hope he has a soft landing. Will you be posting your finished black and white work for HowieZine?

Oh... I LOVE this one. What a funny way to illustrate travel. The colors are great and I love your style - great work!
For sure the stuff from HOWieZine will be posted here as well. I'm stoked about it. It'll probably be up after the books are done - maybe late May (a guess).
Don't worry, the kid bounces. Believe me, I know of what I speak. And yes, it was a wonderful gift--the kids love having a book about them. Great story, great illustrations. It made me smile to see this when I logged on this morning.

This reminds me of the physically destructive things you and I did as kids. Remember the "car crusher"? Folks always look at me funny when I tell 'em about that.
I really like what you did here! There's some definite motion in this. Way to go!
