Illustration Friday & An Exciting Announcement!
Published in: Illustration, Illustration Friday, Portfolio
Let me start off by saying ‘YAY!!! I’m free from work!’. It’s so exciting to finally be able to dedicate my full week to illustration. I have so many projects I’d like to start and can’t wait for my first full week of freedom & fun!
On another note, this week’s Illustration Friday topic is Seed. (Click here to rate this illustration) This topic incidentally coincides perfectly with my big announcement! I’m three months pregnant! This is part of the reason I wanted to quit my full time job – so I can take care of myself during this important time. What a perfect Illustration Friday topic to make this announcement :o) I hope you enjoy this week’s submission. And you’ll be hearing a lot more from me in the next few days. Hope you all have a great week!

You are “free” from work, get to create artwork whenever you want to AND you get to pamper yourself while you wait for your special arrival. How wonderful.
