Hot Potato, Hot Potato!

Thinking of St. Patrick's Day this weekend and I'm looking forward to corned beef, cabbage and...
the POTATOES! : )

Here's a quick illo done in Photoshop this morning..I promised I'd try to do something creative today as I've been busy with taxes, work-work and bills. Oy.

Happy St. Patrick's Day weekend everyone! Are you celebrating? How do you celebrate..any fun traditions?  Hope you are all well! ~ Shirley

OK, playing a bit of hooky today - and enjoying this new "style"....here's another little illo just for fun. Happy weekend everyone!

  1. That's a wonderful little GIF, Shir! And I love that little critter down below too, very nice use of shape and color. You always make me want to do more seasonal, holiday related stuff, but then I just never get around to it :P It's funny as we always seem to be in virtual sync sometimes - I've been playing with new styles as well for my current book, and I am busy with tax stuff too :) Have a great weekend!

  2. Two cute illustrations :) What program do you use for animations?
    Well, St. Patrick's Day isn't really a great deal where I live. I've never celebrated it in all my life. ^^' What do you do on that day?

  5. Hello my friend. These are both adorable, but your work always is adorable :D
    I've been without an art computer. I finally have it back so hopefully I can post something new. It's been forever. Sounds like you needed a break! Have a great weekend.

  13. Oh adorable! Just the right amount of animation makes it seriously cute. My goodness, that teeny raccoon among the clover - even cuter! I usually prefer the critters, though one can't really go wrong with cute kids OR cute critters around here!

  15. Shirley, I so love your work and have been admiring your work for years now through my friend, Alexandra who follows you. You inspire both of us so much. I have to say you have to surely have one of THE most darling styles of illustration out there. EVERYTHING you do is incredible!

    You know what would truly be humbling is if you ever joined one of the CREATIVE TUESDAYS art co-op themes each fortnight. I can only imagine how cute your piece could adn woudl be for my next theme next week (not announced yet).


    And, yes, happy belated St. PAtrick's to you. I always found it amusing how much people of Irish descent are into here in America considering how he was himself English. LOl.
