Illustration Friday: Sweater

"The best time to wear a striped sweater is all the time!"

Knitter, watercolor, marker, & graphite on watercolor paper, 10 x 14", 2011.


I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the topic for this week's Illustration Friday was my suggestion! 

I've had this idea in my head for a while, so it was nice to get it down on paper even if it is a little rough.  I'm probably going to revisit it some time in the future with a larger format, more detail, and maybe acrylics... hmmmm...

PS:  If you know what the quote in the beginning of the post is (without googling it... cheaters!) you're my new best friend!
