The Fort Wayne Museum of Art holds a chalkwalk at the Three Rivers Festival each year.
It's a lot of fun - many artists participate - and I love being there!
It was a very hot day, and I'm a little (very) burned, but here is my square:

What a Stretch...!
This week's Illustration Friday topic - Suspended
He thought up such a great plan.
Everything was set..but there was a slight hitch in the process.
Still undaunted, but slightly suspended from success:
Not sure how he will get out of this one, but as long as the cat stays away he will be fine.
I was going to add a background, but changed my mind...seemed like it might get a little busy and the tension would be lost. Working on this little mouse for my upcoming project... (still a secret!)

Tweeps, Marching Bugs, and a Very Long Nose
So, my blog posts have been a long time coming. I've been really sick and haven't done much over the past few weeks except check emails, Twitter and send out orders.
I have not forgotten about the giveaway, and will be drawing (and posting) the winners tonight!
Also, I have a HUGE project coming down the pike soon that I'm super excited about!
I'm not ready to show it off yet, but in the meantime I came up with a fun mini project:
I reached out on Twitter, asking my followers for illustration topics (@almiart) and promised the first three responses would be combined into an illustration for fun. The three topics Tweeted back were:
Colored Pencil and Ink on Bristol Board.
A Lemur eating cooked rice, thinking about the strange hummingbird (notice the nose, mouth and eyelashes if you are wondering if the hummingbird's head is human enough), and not thinking about the ants making off with his lunch.
A fun project! Thanks to those who participated.
