juggler

The main reason I began blogging was to have a place to participate in Illustration Friday. I did it consistently almost every week for about 18 months. But this year I've been juggling too many things at once and dropped the i-Fri ball, and have missed it terribly. I still check the topic every week and try to think of an image, sometimes I come up with one, but run out of time to actually paint it. Sometimes, I can't think of anything at all... sadly my IF muscle has gone all flabby and out of shape. I'm aiming to start participating once again. Not promising anything, but it's definitely on my list.

Anyway, this week's theme was juggle, and I remembered that I had drawn a juggler for a job recently.

Remember when I submitted mouse girl and trumpet boy to try and get my first commercial illustration job?

Well the client didn't go for them, said they weren't corporate enough. BUT they did give me the opportunity to try again. This time I did very quick, messy sketches, and they were apparently just what the client wanted.

My juggler here, is an example of the 40 odd characters I had to draw.

Anyway, the website it was for has just recently been launched. Go check it out!

Mr You did the programming, and another friend did the site design.

And here's a red-hot-insiders tip: when you're looking at the site use your keyboard arrow keys, then try your page-up and page-down keys for something a bit different.
