IF: Elizabeth Taylor Highlights

2011-12-28T21:09:00.000-08:00

Elizabeth Taylor's estate auctions seem to be getting a lot of attention lately. You can view "Highlights from the Collection of Elizabeth Taylor" on the Christie's website.

I think it was really cool that she was said to have had purple eyes AND double eyelashes. It must have been a real pain to pick out sunglasses.

Sneaky

2010-11-20T18:14:00.001-08:00

My cat is extremely sneaky.

Stargazing

2010-08-14T21:49:00.000-07:00

Pisces
Possibly one of the most beautiful constellations.

Double

2010-07-23T16:21:00.001-07:00

Have you ever had one of those days when you unknowingly wear the same outfit as someone else?

I did this illustration a while ago, but I thought it would fit right in with this week's topic.

"I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless."
-Bette Davis

Illustration Friday: Renewal

"People, even more than things, have to be restored,

Oprah!

2009-12-27T17:05:00.000-08:00

Everyone gets a new car!
Joking...
But she is the queen of daytime, isn't she?
She deserves a portrait!

I desperately need a pair. Where can I find some?

Xerox Ensemble

2009-07-04T17:21:00.000-07:00

Ever had one of those days
when you show up someplace
and someone else is wearing an
identical copy of your outfit?

Don't Forget

2009-07-04T12:23:00.000-07:00

I did this to look like the old "Stay Calm and Carry On" posters.

Is it cold under the sea?

2009-06-20T17:27:00.000-07:00

Sources say yes.

This makes no sense...sorry...

What can I say? It's Saturday...

Illustration Friday: Drifting

2009-06-19T08:43:00.000-07:00

I think I'm one of the few who likes snow drifts.

Nice Hat

Thinking about hats today...

Strawberries

Meet & Greet

2008-12-21T15:03:00.000-08:00

I think there are many, many voices circling a single voice, representing the voices of many.

It's Still Snowing

Orange you glad?

Yes-Glares

2008-09-25T17:17:00.000-07:00

I miss the mid-1980's to mid 1990's huge-ongous glasses.

'Sup.

Red Frames

2008-09-21T05:36:00.000-07:00

I've always wanted a pair of red-framed glasses.

What?

Illustration Friday: Clutter

2008-09-06T09:06:00.000-07:00

I was never one to agree with the "keep it simple" mantra. I say bring on the clutter and chaos.

Pattern III

2008-09-04T17:59:00.000-07:00

I don't know; it reminds me of heart muscle fibers up close.

Illustration Friday: Memories

2008-09-01T13:27:00.000-07:00

Memories as a young child, when I could spend
hours playing "tea party" or feeling oh-so-elegant
with a bow in my hair.

Another Scribbly

2008-08-24T05:17:00.000-07:00

I thought it looked like a mom holding her child.

Scribbly Mask

2008-08-23T14:50:00.000-07:00

I like to close my eyes and scribble with the mouse and then try to make something out of it.

Here's a Look

2008-08-23T06:28:00.000-07:00

This is weird, I think.

The worst part about my morning routine, minus my glasses.

Pattern II

2008-08-22T18:00:00.000-07:00

I layered semi-transparent, gray daisies, and then tessellated the image.
I thought it looked cool.

Eye Sore

2008-08-16T08:27:00.000-07:00

It hurts my eyes.

Illustration Friday: Detach

2008-08-15T18:58:00.000-07:00

She isn't always happy.
Sometimes she feels detached from the sing-song world.

Illustration Friday: Sail

2008-08-10T11:29:00.000-07:00

She thought the waves in her hair were unattractive...
Much to her surprise, they attracted the strangest things.
