They are different, yes, and beautiful, and I have no doubt that people will love them (because I certainly do). Enjoy the fact that you can enjoy the show. :) I just have to say that when I first pulled up this page and first saw these images, I gasped – wow!

I have shied (shyed? shy-ed?) away from both illustration and gallery work because of the expectations that people have of seeing a consistent style. My work is constantly changing. From one day to the next my drawings can be totally different. And if I try to make them the same, well, then it starts to feel an awful lot like work. And for me, if I am to continue on this path my work does need to feel like play and freedom and self expression, even if I am going to sell it. The release and expression and experimentation is why I am an artist. If I just wanted to make money there are certainly easier ways!I do so appreciate your willingness to share the vulnerability and doubt you feel at times. Hi Penelope.
