Misc Sketch - Run Chicken Run!!

Illustration Friday - Chicken II

What?!?  Chickens like a good book just as much as the next guy.

Illustration Friday - Chicken

It's kind of hard to eat your dinner when it's hugging you.

They Draw and Cook

They Draw and Cook is a fantastic blog where artist/designers/illustrators/ submit illustrated recipes!

I love cookbooks. Kind of funny, since I'm not much of a cook, but I love flipping through the pages of cookbooks. So what's better than a cookbook to flip through ... an illustrated cookbook, of course!!

There have been several times when I've browsed the blog thinking how cool it would be if these recipes were compiled into a book.  Enter Weldon Owen Publishing.  TDAC is teaming up with Weldon to turn the blog into an illustrated cookbook!  YAY!!

I submitted a recipe for my Grandma Henninger's One-Egg Cake: a family favorite!!

Spot of tea

Peter H. Reynold's Teacup project and my love of a cuppa inspired me to create my version of a relaxing cup of tea.  (And yes, the chicken is back!)

A cup of tea bathes the soul in delight.

Cartwheels and Chickens

I have been busy drawing today.  I've done several little sketches.  I've enjoyed using just one color for each sketch.  My normal instinct is to not paint beavers and mice purple, or people blue, but I like the way they've turned out.

I'm not really sure why there is a chicken in this illo, but it felt right.  :)
