Illustration Friday: ‘Resist’

Another one for Illustration Friday.   This week’s word is RESIST.

Teddy, our adorable little tabby and white cat, usually likes to hang out with me when I’m in my study.  Currently she’s sleeping on the couch, but she usually starts off on my desk, often sitting, facing me, exactly where I need to put my sketchbook or keyboard, then she’ll spend some time draped around my shoulders.  From there she’ll move to sit in the in-tray and observe me (or chew on the crackliest piece of cellophane she can find).  I should really lift her off the desk or shoo her away but, even when I have lots to do, or work-in-progress that she’s about to dribble onto, her charms are pretty much impossible to resist!

Illustration Friday: ‘Delicious’

Illustration Friday is a website where people post their responses to a one-word brief each week.  It provides an excellent motivation to draw, a way for other people to see my work, and, just as importantly, for me to discover other talented illustrators.  I love it!

This week’s word is DELICIOUS.  Here’s my interpretation:

A bear holding up a delicious apple, out of which is appearing a worm.
