Meant for a Moment Designs: 7/29/12

Thursday

This made me laugh. I married the guy this poster is talking to.

I like being able to see the behind-the-scenes action of what it takes to make an

illustration wonderful. In Carin Bramsen's interview with Seven Impossible Things,

she gives us a back stage pass and presents her preliminary sketches along side her

beautiful finished product. Her first book, "The Yello Tutu" is filled with a bright

sunny character who decides she and her yellow tutu are the sun. {and I melt} The

illustrations alone are enough to brighten your day. I love Carin's unique use of

perspective and fun compositions. And color color color!

Hello my friends, I need your help. I have been admiring so many wonderful artists

that keep their work loose and sketchy. So I thought I would give it a whirl. So above

are two of the same images completed in two different styles. A: New for me, light

loose and sketchy. B: My Color in the lines bright style. What are your thoughts. Stick

with coloring in the lines? Or continue to experiment?

May I present, the newest addition to Meant for a Moment's Etsy shop.

These fun chairs by innovative designer, Merve Kahraman, are based on parahumans.

If you sit in them it kind of looks like you have grown horns yourself. (Great

conversation piece- "Um, are those antlers on your head?" "No, its just my

chair.") They are entirely homemade and totally adorable.
