Illustration Friday: "choose"
Most of the time I seem to choose the right illustration to post for Illustration Friday. I think the person who was decorating this room couldn't decide what to put in these frames, so many choices! But I do choose to unveil this youtube by my good friend, musician David Tobocman featuring my artwork. You can see the video here. Enjoy!
very cute illustration Val...
ReplyDeletecute sofa...

oh god, in the couple of years i've been visiting you, this is probably my favorite entry of all. i love what he did with your beautiful art. i'm marking it a favorite.
ReplyDeletethank god for youtube. brava, woman. braVA!
your images work perfectly with the song. they warm my heart, and give me a memory of childhood...safety? (i can't think of the word i want, i'm sorry.)
Wonderful, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour talents compliment each other perfectly. And what great friends!

ReplyDeleteenjoyed seeing your work presented this way Val.

Nice effect with the furniture! good pop...
ReplyDeleteI loved your movie on Youtube and seeing all your wonderful art. Great idea. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh Val, what a sweet illustration and an even sweeter video! The song and your images are absolutely perfect together... truly awesome! can't say enough good things about it!!!
ReplyDeleteValgal! Love the vid. I have sent to a bunch of the gang. Totally fun! I loved seeing the "flying home" pic -- especially because the one we have has the Pepster (god rest his soul) in the doorway. Great work as usual!

your beautiful illustrations fit perfectly to the lyrics of the song. I like the melody, too and it brings me back to my childhood past.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful treat. I also like the song. It is a perfect accompaniment to your paintings of warm and welcoming homes. Your illustration for this week's theme is a hoot. I can't make up my mind sometimes but the owner of this sofa is extreme. Haha!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well and you are fine.
Your houses are so beautiful that you can not choose one! the movie and the music are odziv

WOW Valerie this is just wonderful! Love the youtube movie. Your art looks so beautiful along that lovely song! I have to confess I got teary eyed...
ReplyDeleteThere were several pieces of yours that I had not seen before that I just love like: the girl's room, the pickup truck with the house in the back, the little blue house this the clothesline beside it, the one with the house flying and the kitty at the end of the steps, the little snow hearts one and the beginning and ending illustration. All your art is beautiful but these ones really speak to me.
Wonderful work! :o)
I love those colorful frames, they look wonderful just like that, pieces of art in themselves. And what an inviting room, the bowl of fish, that comfy sofa. Lovely entry, and very charming too.
ReplyDeleteYou always choose the right things for IF. Your work is gorgeous.
ReplyDeletethe concept is just perfect !
ReplyDeleteI love your work.
wonderful! Really think both the song and your works makes a wonderful combination! Your log house (cabin) with the woods and deers at the back is my favourite :)
ReplyDeleteYour youtube video is awesome. I think I would choose the YELLOW frame...I am feeling yellow today! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely versions of 'home', I especially like the blue house on the truck. You seem to have matched some images perfectly with the song lyrics - e.g., to your fish and cat image...deliberate or a happy coincidence?!.
ReplyDeleteWonderful scene!!.. all those empty frames gives me the idea I am in a tale..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I love your illustration style and it works particularly well with your friends song.
