Brook's August 2009

My first Calendar. I have been inspired by the flowers of the month and this month it is the Gladiola. The Gladiola has many meanings for those born in the month of August, they are graceful, strong of character and may even be capable of piercing the heart of another with their beauty...

Pattern + repetition - by Brook

Paper cutting... a cheats way to pattern and repetition?

I almost did paper dolls :) Maybe I will anyway!

Brook's making plans

This is the electrical plan for our bedroom wall. It has to be exact because we have 2 shelf recesses above the bed so if they install things in the wrong place it will look funny. It took me ages!

Celebration by Brook

I too was inspired by Shell & Luke's wedding...

Monsters - by Brook

My little monsters - Karl thought they looked like Willow and Asher trick or treating. :)

This one isn't finished either, and I'll repost once I've coloured it. That may not be for a while...

Maybe one day... by Brook

Sleep... uninterrupted, blissful, peaceful sleep. Maybe one day...

This isn't finished, but I thought I'd post it as I may not get to finish it for a while...

Brook's favourite animal

I have a couple of favourite animals, well, ok, one's a bird. Still part of the animal kingdom. :)

Home - by Brook

I'm rather behind, but better late than never! I actually worked on 2 drawings for this topic, the 2nd being inspired by one of Willow's story books. And why not draw a home how's she'd like to see it? ;)

Rain - by Brook

Music - by Brook

Here it is... One day maybe I'll catch up!

Nurture - by Brook

Well, I'm only a week late...

Wind - by Brook

Better late than never...

On our road trip we saw so many windmills, we didn't get the wind and rain that hit Brisbane. Willow was pretty excited about the windmills too, so they were quite a talking point.

Sisters - by Brook

Need I say more?

Travel - by Brook

I did it... Managed to get a few moments while Willow and Asher were having their afternoon naps... A more literal take on travel, but I felt like drawing... something. Back to basics...

Love the 'stamp' Shell, I feel like it has a touch of whimsy and such flow. As travel should be. :)

Self - by Brook

I was a little time challenged this week... hopefully I'll have more time next week to be more organised. It certainly made me reflect and I found that the most interesting part! I felt like I was getting information on myself for a magazine article, which inspired my mag style illustration. Hope you like it, I'm not completely happy with it, the liquid paper that adds texture to the picture looks flat and kind of weird digitally... Oh well, this is just the beginning...

Thanks for a great topic Deb. :)
