This is my submission for Illustration Friday's "Robot". This was a bit of a challenge today! I wish I had made that Mechanical House with the flailing arms, I knew it would come in handy some day! This is a greeting card that I made for Marisol's every day line.
As usual - a delight; And I wondered how you were going to handle this weeks subject; it is fun to get to know the artists here and contemplate thier take on each.
ReplyDeleteI wondered how you would do it, too.(but I never doubted you would!) I like the whole thing...the wood floor and the texture of the fringed rug...and this could have passed for the "Spotted" category, too. The spots/dots on the couch really pop out at you.
ReplyDeletei love the colours, texture,subject matter oh i guess I love it all!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh....that is so great. Again, another cool illo from your barnFULL of fantastic art! How DO you get those barn doors closed!? :)
ReplyDeleteoh how fun this is! And the great details including the goldfish! Its so fun!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Great idea! I think you should make that mechanical house... itmay come in handy again!
ReplyDeletelove this illo!
ReplyDeleteI would really love to see your robotic house - hee-hee:)
Cool! I love this illustration.
ReplyDeletePretty funny...this movie ("Robots" I assume?) was on the other night. My husband liked it. I wanted to changed the channel! Great job again, Val!
ReplyDeleteOh please make the mechanical house with the flailing arms it sounds fab!
ReplyDeleteNot that these aren't of course, just that they aren't houses!
Which one is Babs?
ReplyDeleteLove the illo but I agree with Caroline. Please drawn the robot house.
love
LOL, I hate it when the dogs and cats can't agree on a station...
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I just watched that Movie last night with my husband. Your work is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteSplendid. oD erom.
ReplyDeletethe lovely house with animals
ReplyDeleteI tried to see what type of fish you put in the glass bowle - seems a goldfish, isn't?
very nice card!
wonderful
ReplyDeletecomposition
robots
on machines
too funny
this is a pretty good work, as usual...I agree w' you about the topic, it has been challenging, for me also...i'm not crazy for robots, machineries and the like!
ReplyDelete:)
Wonderful illustration. Love the animals watching the tube.
ReplyDeleteGot caught up reading your post below this... great Hollywood story. Yes, Peckinpah is legend. 'The Wild Bunch' is a favorite.
Oh, that's funny ! Hey, you know what I just noticed, that tv has an antenna so that means this is a broadcast movie instead of a cable or satalite reciever.
ReplyDeleteRetro robots, or rise of the nostalgic...
Either way, wonderful work !

It's fun to see the interior of your houses from time to time as well. Everything looks comfy and cozy, I think Charlie should leave Babs alone, she's made a good viewing choice. Wonderfulfun!
ReplyDeleteAs always...you shine! Awesome illo!
ReplyDeleteThis is great!! My little guy love that movie too!
ReplyDeleteYou did it again, Val! You have such an amazing collection of fabulous work...each one tells a story, evokes a mood, creates a total experience in the details you include. The robots are great, but I just love the cat on top of the chair (such a cat thing to do), the cute dog, and the little bird on the rug. Excellent choice for this week's topic...a soft and homey take on robots:>
ReplyDeleteAWESOME idea!! Love your illos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design, Val. You're so good with that airbrush! I put my Paache and Badger away when I was introduced to Photoshop.
ReplyDeletecharming and funny. I love all the little buttons on the sofa.
ReplyDeleteOh no, it isn't a house help! Ah but it is inside one! YAY...like the bots.
ReplyDeletewhat great fun… anbd a great illustration as well…
ReplyDeleteVery cute take. Love the little guys. We will all wait 4 that robotic house!
ReplyDeleteSmooch,
The Tart
; )
nice one! I love the sofa.
ReplyDeleteThe whole project is great. Bigweld was my favorite, though I guess I'm particular to Mel Brooks
ReplyDeleteI am with Babs, I love this movie, too…
ReplyDeleteBabs looks so enthralled with the movie!
ReplyDeleteThe illustration is beautiful!
Watch out for the fish in the bowl in the intermission!
Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the little balls that are hanging off of the upholstery on the couch. Everything here is just jumping off the page!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, regarding your sweet comment: I had a copy of Joan Walsh Anglund's A Friend is Someone Who Likes You and Love is a Special Way of Feeling when I was a kid. I used to copy her style of drawing -the mouthless cuties with little dot eyes- over and over in my school notebooks. Thanks for reminding me of her wonderful stuff...
Love the details. Every part of it is done to perfection. The colors, texture love it all!!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. They look so cozy. Very fun.
ReplyDeleteHey Val...Just checking in to see how you are doing! and of course checkin out your wonderful art!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, suitable to your (on-line) personality, I really like it. Mary :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all the fantastical details you place in your piece! They make for such a delightful visual smorgasbord!
ReplyDeletenice! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments :) I too love your robot illustration! You have sooo much details in there! The line under it just matches my Toby(doggie)and Ruphy(kitty)perfectly! Haha!
