I’ve been falling a bit behind with Illustration Friday because I have been so tied up with varsity stuff. Now that I have a bit of a vacation for the next two weeks I can spend some time on doing creative work again. This is an illustration for the word ‘wired’, which came up a fortnight ago.
The word for this week was ‘hide’.
I decided to illustrate the noun form of the word in a mock paper cut-out of a cow in need of a new hide.
Actually I used to make a lot of stuff like this when I was teaching elementary school English in Taiwan. As silly as it looks the kids would really enjoy it and learnt a lot that way too.
When I think of them now I kind of miss them. They used to love my silly stories and would illustrate them so beautifully at home. I wisely returned colour copies of their homework and kept the originals because to me they are little works of art while to them they are nothing to fuss over. I know I'll be coming back to them for inspiration when I finally get around to doing a kids book.
