On the drawing board ... school dance

I had a great time today talking to some friends about what to wear to an upcoming school fundraiser/silent auction we're all attending.  We got on the topic of wearing our smashing prom dress/bridesmaid's dresses to the event.  (Which I seriously plan on doing if I can find one in my closet, or at a thrift store).  Now, if I can get my husband to find a powder blue tux.

Which brought on a little inspiration... and while I'm at it ... this seems like a good fit for the Illustration Fridays this week -Heights ... Doesn't the straight-arm dance, with the shell-shocked faces, as well as the tacky stars just send you back to your first school dance?

Wow, it's been a really long time since I've posted.  Sorry about that.  I've been busy getting together drawings to send out, and that combined with the end-of-the-school-year craziness, well I just haven't had much time to relax, and in this case.... post.

However, I have found a moment ... right now, this very second, and I'm taking advantage of it before it escapes again.

Here are a few of the things that have been on my drawing board lately.  (You can see more of my current work over on the Smells Like Crayons blog.)

Sometimes being the big kid is tough.  It's nice when someone understands.

Next step, to light-box, and clean them up.

Today I'm working on some rough sketches for the PB idea I have.  I've included one below, but you can see a few more of my sketches over on the SMELLS LIKE CRAYON blog.
