SPACE ILLUSTRATIONS and NEW WORD

Nicholas Wright

Rebekah Foord

Its been a very busy few weeks, but salvation is just around the corner in the form of chocolate and public holidays! who could ask for anything more? well, me! but nothing drastic, all I request is an tiny little illustration, even a sketch, or a thumb print! if you can find the time between holiday cheer and eating chocolate bunnies it would make my Easter;) so just for fun this fortnights word is HOLIDAY, have a great one!

Post your links in the comments before the 4th May, I should have all those chocolate calories burnt off by then.......right?

Back on the Wagon

Nick Wright

Well! where have you been Miro Roundup? it seems all this illustrating business got the better of us and we fell off the old wagon for awhile! Now they say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem so here it goes.........'Hi, my name is Rebekah and I have been neglecting my blog, its been three weeks since my last post' (then you say 'Hi Rebekah!'). But chin up my fellow travelers I have gathered up the horses, changed the wagon wheels (mmm wagon wheels) and am propped up on top ready to ride once again! yeeeeha!

Thank you Nick for being the only one (including me) who manage to get an illo done for our DREAM word, love the new style by the way. If you have a dream illo on the way and do not want to give up on it just post the link when your done and ill add it to Nick's. For those of you that need a brand spanking new word to get those juices flowing wrap your brains around this one 'SPACE'. At the risk of giving away my tendencies for sci fi (nerds are in this season!) remember its up to you how you interpret this lager than life word, live long and prosper people!

oh and lets make this one due on the 19th of April so as to ease ourselves back in........

HUNTING and new word

Nicholas Wright

Naomi Hatchman

Rebekah Foord

Thanks so much to Naomi for her spooky yet endearing 'Sky Shark', love it! I know there maybe some late hunting illustrations still to come so just post a link when your done and I will add them to blog.

Now for this weeks new word! I thought long and hard about this one, I wanted a word that would make one jump from their desktops, grab the nearest drawing implement and illustrate like they have never illustrated before! So I thought to myself "what motivates me?" several things came to mind (including chocolate....) but really what motivates me are my hopes and dreams for myself, so thats it, the word of the week is DREAM. I hope this word inspires you no matter what your dreams may be (oh I can hear the violins;) x

Be vewy vewy quiet.........

Grab your clubs fellow fearless miro hunters, like the cave men (and women) that came before us we are on the hunt. lets whack an idea over the head, drag it back to our caves and turn it into a delicious miro illustration full of protein! post the links to your kill in the comments and on Friday I shall cut their heads off and mount them on the blog wall for all to cower at "honestly it was this big!"

I hope no one minds but I just had to post the latest hairy entries directly to the blog. Thank you so much Naomi and Flick your work is amazing!!!!

Now everyone get your thinking caps on because this weeks miro word of the week comes direct to you from the Collins Concise English Dictionary (third edition) and my right pointer fingure, it is............HUNTING! now I know this may not sit to well with the vegetarians among us but lets remember there are all sorts of different things to go hunting for in this crazy world of ours.

'Be vewy vewy qwiet, im hunting illustrators' (forgive me, I had to do it!)

P.S. lets make this one due on the 10th March x
