Illustration Friday: Southern Gothic

"Imperfect" is the theme for Illustration Friday today.  It's the tiny imperfections that can blow something up to and over the top of a perfect stratosphere- the crack of high note that sends your spine tingling and gives you gooseflesh all over.  A gravely breaking blues voice that makes blood-hot tears streak down the faces of grown men.  A bullet hole in a road sign.  The break of a guitar string.  The click of your tongue off your pallet at a moment of profound clarity.

Illustration Friday: Break an Egg

"Break an Egg" inks on bristol / 2008

 Each week, Illustration Friday draws a theme out of the hat as a prompt for artists.  This year, I'm trying to meet their theme with an existing work of art from my catalog.  Today's prompt is "Beginner."

Every thing we tackle in our lives begins somewhere.  Whenever we start something new, we're bound to break a few eggs trying to accomplish it, which brought me to this illustration from 2008..... enjoy!
