For Illustration Friday: Anonymous
Fine Art and Illustration by Jennifer Long Herrera
Years ago, when I worked at the phone book, I participated in Illustration Friday on a regular basis. This week it seemed like a good idea to try again. I should have started a little earlier so I would have had more time to polish my idea, or add some color, but at least its a start…
“They were surprised by what was actually contained inside.
The contents were much simpler than the facade suggested.”
For Illustration Friday: Contained
recycled hair gel container with paper maché relief, acrylic paint
“Her resolve was strong. She had kept her chin up and her fist clenched so tightly and for so long that she no longer knew why.”
For Illustration Friday: Resolve
Pen & Ink & Digital Collage
My resolve is to stop trying to “white-knuckle” my way into being who I want to be but to let go,
to let grace and that peace that passeth understanding take over.
They say that if I don’t get them on a bedtime routine they will be sleeping with us till they’re off to college.
For Illustration Friday: Routine
The morning ritual was as follows: curl half up, curl half down, spray, then run a comb through and POOF! spray once more and ready to go.
For Illustration Friday:POOF!
I was looking at one post from the UK that was wondering if they needed to explain what Poof meant there to the rest of the world. I didn’t get it so I suppose they do. I’m not sure how far the reach of this hair style was. I saw in plenty in the south of the US and I’m pretty sure it was in the midwest as well. I’ve even seen it quite recently in the south of Mexico. I wonder did it make it to other continents?
“There was one this one semester. It may be for the best that everything about it is so foggy.”
This was a pen and ink sketch that I brought into photoshop and altered it a bit. It still feels more like a pen and ink than digital to me, but I put it under “mixed media” to cover by bases. Is there a line an image crosses after being scanned in decides it’s media?
This is not new but when I saw that this Friday’s theme was Punchline I couldn’t resist posting this one.
