So, to kill two birds with one stone, I decided to use this week’s Illustration Friday theme to create a new website header. My header has been like Christmas lights that you forget to take down… and in a year, they become useful again ;) Time to change that.
A box of crayons symbolizes a cocoon, where there’s something beautiful inside just waiting to get out and show the world. It’s wonderful to watch a child with a blank piece of paper and a box of crayons and see what they come up with.

Great one Garth! Love the new header… you’ve inspired me to work on a new one fro myself…. the Christmas lights have been up way too long!
I think I do that expression 2 sometimes when I draw :-q

Love the concept, really like your illustration style.
Perfection! The artist in all of us can totally relate to this concept. (wish I’d thought of it!) ^.^
clever concept – you’re right, crayons are nothing until someone brings them to life! fab colours too:)
