Well okay, this is not quite a map... it's more of an illustrated info-graphic kind of thing. Which makes it map-like.
Illustration is an interesting profession for the curious. You never know what kind of assignment is going to come knocking at your door, or what sort of facts and information you'll then acquire. How cool is that?
This piece was for a story about the history of Westchester County for a recent issue of Westchester Magazine. I am happy to say I now know the name of every manor, city, town, village, hamlet and CDP in Westchester County, New York. (Still not exactly sure what a "CDP" is, though.)

Finally got a change to do Illustration Friday again! When I think "tales and legends", naturally the Legend of Zelda comes up. I had to give it a chickeny twist, of course.

Sorry for the crummy picture. Just wanted to post something recent today. My PC up and died, taking my scanner with it, so posting new work has become difficult. I'm still here, and still drawing, though.

This is a painting of a French Bulldog I met who had one blue eye. His name: Blue. Yep.
Painting's really been on the back burner for me these days- the Chickenpants have taken over!

Birds show up pretty frequently in my art...I couldn't pick just one!
And, if you were do inclined, you could see even more of my paintings here.

Finally finished! If you pop over here, you can see a horrifying photo of the desk from whence this painting sprang. I'm in pre-show mode, so everything's nuts.

Here's an illustration of me, as a chicken.
I should have added more balls. Nine just isn't enough.
Best viewed large.

I colored this in with watercolor pencils. I've had them for years, but never really used them much. I must admit, I enjoyed using them and the finished effect very much!

A few weeks ago, the challenge here was "Tattoo". What with the vacationing and the coughing and dying, I've only just got it all together now.
Too late for SFG, but still totally worth creating (and hopefully, viewing!). I colored this in with watercolor pencils. I've had them for years, but never really used them much. I must admit, I enjoyed using them and the finished effect very much!

It's good to be a bee.
Or so I imagine. Flying around, rolling around on flowers...

Yes, that's correct. A super-wonky hunk of lamb on a hunk of 2 x 4. I may just turn slightly edgy yet!

I showed everyone "Frozen New York" and they were most impressed.
This is such a fascinating illustration.
I am off to the Morgan Lib. tomorrow to look at medieval illustrated ms. tomorrow.
somehow this reminded me of them........
Oh wow this is beautiful Jennifer! I love how free and organic it is! I use to live near White Plains when I was 10 years old, in a town called Chappaqua. I don't think is in the map though because it's quiet little, but so beautiful.. :o)
I love this!
Thanks, Elizabeth. I'll have to check out the Morgan Library-- never been. (Hope those monks had good eyeglasses... this piece just about wore mine out!)
Y gracias, Alicia! Yes, Chappaqua is on there... and what a small world-- that's where my writing group meets. :-)
And thanks, Barbara!
Ís there I couldn't tell very well on my monitor.. it's not too big.
You get together with your writing group there? How wonderful... :o)
I remember I used to go to the Roaring Brook School, I wonder if it's still there? It's just beautiful up there... :o)
Hi Jen, Hi Alicia! My kids went to Roaring Brook. Yes, it's there. Small world!
Great idea. Of course I like Dutchess County better, but it is still a great piece.
Alicia and Julie-- Wow, small world!
And thanks, Frank!
But aw, whaddaya mean? Long Island rules, hahaha!!
