Illustration Friday: Sorrow
Just a quick post. I may add more later as I'm on my way out the door! Here is my submission for Illustration Friday.
Also! A couple days ago, I found this BABY NAME VOYAGER (via Rebecky). The voyager requires java, so I used Safari for this site. So cool!!! I'm hoping that this site will help me figure out the name o' our bun!
And I found Portakal Agaci via my stat's page -- such eye candy! I just wish I could read Turkish! But be sure to check out her ENGLISH site as well.
And DUH! How could I forget? The CRAFTSQUAD FORUM is now open!

As per everything else you do, this is wonderfully executed.

Oh that is a lovely illo. She looks so alone. So vulnerable. I liked the theme because it was challenging but the pictures all make me feel sad.
Have a great day today!
