Hi Everyone! I admit it, my blog has been slow moving. It’s hard to keep up with everything and still have time in the day to sit down and write something. But, there is a new series of blog posts I’m excited about putting together. A weekly illustration project that I want your help with.
Each week, I will write a small piece and create an illustration to go with it, based on a particular topic. I’m looking for YOUR topics to illustrate! It can be anything from current day issues to mythical subjects to fun things like gardening or dancing. Give me a subject. Try to keep it to one word or short phrase.
Now, here’s the fun part! For everyone who submits a topic, you will be entered into a contest. I will randomly draw from the participants to pick a winner. The winner will receive a free matted art print of their choice from my existing work available in print form. I’ll contact the winner to let you know what the choices are and to get your contact info so I can mail it to you.
Ready to come up with some fun topics to be illustrated? Leave your comment on this blog to participate. Ready…set…GO!
Contest ends November 6th, 2011.
I love this idea! I would love to see what you create for “empowered women”.
Thanks for the idea Lisa! First one on the list.
Love your work. Pets are always good subject matter. People do love their pets. Have you noticed that people and their pets often do look alike?
Thanks so much Marie! Oh, this should be a fun one to do.
I’d like to see an illustration of the garden homestead you dream your house will become one day.
Ooo… interesting idea! That might be a busy one, but I could hopefully capture at least part of it. Unless I draw you a full-yard diagram!
I was thinking of it kind like… a view from the road… like you see those dreamy cottages in the woods in paintings….
That would probably be the prettiest part. I like it!
I would love to see… transformation.
Oh, interesting! Thanks for the suggestion!
Ah I have to say it: Short bus! :p
Ahaha! Yes, I suppose so. This will be a very special illustration for you. LOL.
What an awesome idea! I look forward to seeing your beautiful creations. I would like to see “embracing dualities.”
Oh, another interesting one! Thank you for the suggestion! This will be a challenge, but very cool.
Such fun! I’d love to see When She Who Codes Began To Dance
Thanks for stopping by Amanda! Oh, that should be a fun one too.
I have a nine year old son & 4 year old daughter… so a portrait of a mother & her children would be nice to see.
(My sister also has an older son (13) younger daughter (10) combination)
~ Thanks for asking!
Thanks for your topic Jenn! I’ll add it to the blog queue.
Hi Vicki!
I know this is very late, but this came up from two different friends over the past two days and you’re the perfect person to illustrate this – “woman crying under a hot shower”. Can you just picture her head against the wall, letting it all out, waiting for inspiration to return?

That’s okay! I still haven’t picked a winner, so shhhh… I’ll let you squeak in.
Thank you for the suggestion! That’s definitely a moment I’ve had myself.
