I haven't posted at all this month. I also haven't done illustration friday in a while. Been busy and spending all my creative juices on a book I'm illustrating at work. It's cute, I love it. I know that in a few months I'll look back on it and see all the mistakes and all the things I could change, but it's for work-they own it and I have only so much time to work on it. I did sketch something for this week's reinvent topic, but I hate it and I can't seem to keep up with this new Thursday deadline. I'll try next week!

This painting is by Egon Schiele. One of my favorite artists. In college I studied art for a month or so in France (and all over) and saw a show of his in Aix en Provence. It was so exciting for me to see them in person and get up close and look at the line quality of his drawings. Fantastic! I haven't felt that excited and juiced up about art in a while, I need to get out more and look at what other people are doing now.
