"Ghost" by Gracie

"Ghost" for Illustration Friday
by Gracie, age 6

A family of ghosts. I especially like the one sporting the soul patch. (Ah! I made a funny: A soul patch...) And good use of overlapping in the picture, Gracie!

Ghosts building their own haunted house. I love the little guy with the chainsaw!

"Black & Orange" by Gracie

"Black & Orange" by Gracie, age 6

This is Gracie's entry for the Black & Orange contest. Penelope said it "knocked her socks off." And that's before she even knew Gracie was 6. I have a box full of thousands upon thousands of squares that I cut from magazines that the kids can use to make mosaics. As you can see, they've gotten really good at it.

"Black & Orange" by Isaac

"Black & Orange" by Isaac, age 8

The creator of Illustration Friday has a special challenge during October called Black & Orange. The only rule is that the image has to be created primarily with black and orange. Isaac and Gracie wanted to get in on the action. This is Isaac's entry.

I think Grace's picture is about as perfect as you could get in trying to portray 'smitten'. . .

"Quiet" by Isaac

A monster with no mouth. He's the only creature on his whole planet though, so he has no reason to talk anyway.
