The Wrong Wardrobe

Illustrtation Friday: Lost

I came up with the idea for this a while ago and finally got a chance to draw it for the topic of "Lost". I would have loved to include some of the other Hogwarts students and more characters from the Chronicles of Narnia, but I had no time. As a matter of fact, I only sketched this and had to have my boyfriend (the real artist) go over it in ink, redraw some of the elements and create some of the background (the wardrobe & trees for instance). I'm sure that, given enough time, I could have produced this myself... I'm sort of like an infinite number of monkey s at an infinite number of typewriters in that respect.

It's kind of funny that I had to have Patrick help with this if you read my previous post about collaboration. I seriously didn't know that I was going to need his help on this illo when I wrote that.

Two Heads...

The title of this post is a reference to the saying "Two heads are better than one", so you may not want to read this now that you know it's not about a circus freak-show, or those cute little mutant kittens that are sometimes born but die so young, or the palindromic symbolism of a snake head eating the head on the opposite side.
Two heads usually are better than one. It's debatable but, for the most part, true. I have always had a deep-down belief that my big success will come as a part of a collaborative effort. My boyfriend is an artist and child at heart. I am a writer and a child at heart. Put those together and great things could come from us. Unfortunately, we're both procrastinators and tend to talk more about our great ideas than actually act on them. Sometimes I go through phases where I feel I absolutely must accomplish a certain something. I think I'm dawning on one of those phases. Maybe this time it will be "The Great Collaboration" (though the title may change once the details are worked out).
