Ladybug! Ladybug!

The odd looking fella is Benny, aka "Keeper of the Beneficials." While recovering, I've had fun sketching such imaginary creatures from the Fairy realm. I thought he'd be perfect for this. Anyway, I layered some flower photos over each other with different blending modes and threshold adjustments then clone/painted them into the scanned sketch. Added the text box with a gradient and took a brown stink bug photo...lol... and changed hues to green to make the aphid. Drop shadow and Voila!

Oh my! Your style remains, but I never knew about the razor blade in the apple--so sharp and yet so sweet!

Great! We need more of these rhymes to remember these crazy times we live in. The image is "you" to the core--- feminine, gentle, and sweet but packed with wit and meaning. Love it and you too, --skunk

You still have your magic touch - funny and beautiful art all at the same time - Are you using Photoshop for all your cloning and painting. You're so good at it. Bernie Made-off is so funny.

Your drawing sends this creation "over the top". Nice style. Colors and clarity pure child-like yet, sophisticated at the same time. Your treatment of the surface shine on Ladybug is neat...very much like a ceramic glaze.
