illustration challenge # 4




I don't have a lot of information on this business,
but ran across
this, and sounded a bit like
the
Algonquin Round Table in NY also.

Here

Sounds like it was an interesting place to hang out.



ArtSpark had another challenge,
and, I can never seem
to fill in the blank:


"Confetti?" scoffed Grandpa.
"Why, when I was a boy
we celebrated The New Year properly,
with the time-honored tradition.......

She'll have links up to other
interpretations
later today.

Cheers, ya'll!

Visits to other lands by way of the land of counterpane? There's some Little Nemo in these, but without the dangers. Thanks for joining in again - I always look forward to seeing what you come up with.

HNY CM!

I just saw that I left a comment at ArtSparkers saying that I had an idea for this challenge and intended to do it.... i didn't make the time and have entirely forgotten the idea.

these are both great

Happy New Year, my friend!

Sam Juliano said...

The old parchment illustrations are wonderful, and they really add to the entire "coffee" experience. The collage is particularly striking.

A very Happy New Year to you and Yours, Coffee Messiah!

Sorry that AVATAR didn't overwhelm you, but I know that one can divide in an artsitic sense. Look forward to more sharing of our experience, my friend.

My best to you and yours also!
