Illustraton Friday: Swept
My 9 year old daughter laughed at me today as she came downstairs to my studio and saw me drawing the broom, the vax and the dustpan that was spread out on my studio floor. I did say to her earlier today that we were going to have a huge clean up... " Is this your idea of a clean up mum?" The clean up never eventuated as I was having more fun drawing the things that would help me clean up than using them. Funny enough my daughter didn't seem to mind.

A day later I came up with two versions.

  8. Aha straight to the heart of the matter :) after all why sweep when the dust will just settle, even dust has feelings, :) That's what I tell myself.

    I love your header and your approach, it's that nice vintage modern combination that appeals to more than one generation
