Illustration Friday

I.F. - 'Haunt'

Finally had some time over the weekend to do an Illustration Friday for the first time in ages.  Although I had the time, I didn't have any ideas for the subject 'haunt' so I went googling for ghosts and ghouls and ghastly inspiration but got distracted by the Ghost Chili.  Now I've never met a chili that could get the better of me, in some circles I am known as Asbestos Tongue and this is apparently a pretty fiery specimen - I'm on the hunt for some for the next time I make pizza.  So that got me looking for other things named after ghosts and here are four of them.  The ghost bird is actually an Ivory-billed Woodpecker that was believed extinct until recently - 'GhostBird' is the name of the film about the search for him.  Happy Halloween everybody ... whooooooooooo!

I.F. - 'Space'

Well, Illustration Friday is nothing if not educational.  Whilst trying to get some inspiration for the theme of 'space' I came across the toughest creatures known to mankind - Tardigrades aka Water Bears aka Moss Piglets. (Google them - they really are this cute!)  They can withstand extremes of temperature, pressure, dehydration and radiation that would kill most other living things and because of their supreme survival skills (Bear Grylls eat your heart out!) they were sent into outer space to see how they fared. Hope they're OK out there!

Illustration Friday - Kernel

I could have played around with this topic for ages making patterns but I ran out of time - kernel inspired wallpaper - a whole room of it may be a bit much but I think just one panel might look nice -maybe  in a seventies kind of way!
