Brave



This week's illustration friday topic is extra special - because I chose it!!!!! It was a suggested topic of mine from way back, and I have to admit it was pretty darn cool to open my weekly IF email from Penelope Dullaghan, and see my name there (and when you go to the IF website, in the top left-hand corner where the current topic is posted, my name and a link to my site are there too!!).

So here it is - Rosa Parks as the embodiment of Brave.

  5. Good choice of a topic! Coincidentally, Rosa Parks was actually my first go-to for this topic (I was going to illustrate the bus she rode), but went a different route instead. Thanks for the inspiring topic. - Dion
