Thanks for all the comments. The funny thing about this illo is that I was flipping through my sketchbook and saw an old sketch and decided to re-vamp it for this week’s challenge. I was also limited in my watercolors as I only brought a few tubes to Texas with me so I had to mix the colors (which was fun)and I didn’t have my handy pens, I bought an extrs fine sharpie from Wal-mart. So, I guess change really is good.

And for Dee, you hit the nail on the head. I loooooove Quentin Blake and the books he illustrated for Roald Dahl.

I’ve been holding back my comment, because I wanted to wait until my entry was finished…not happenin’ right now! Anyway, as usual, you’re a favorite this week. Those monkeys are adorable, but the expressions on the scientists face are what had me cracking up! Hey, you know what? There’s a little bit of a Quentin Blake thing going on with your people. Do you see it, or is it just me?

Courtney,

Thank you for your words of encouragement on my blog today. I need every bit I can get! I was most happy to visit your site and peruse your illustrations… you have quite a unique style! Love your use of delicate linework and bold colors, it’s a nice juxtaposition (big word for me!). Your monkeys are cutie patootie. Lots of character in the faces of those humans, perfect for mad scientists.

Keep cool,
Kate
