Well done and so fitting. I like the mixture of colors, it adds to the emotion.
Great dedication here. Really great idea and really great illo. Cheers!
I love your marionette idea - Mother Nature plays us like puppets - some of us worse than others. Your illustration is again very well done and I like your choice of patterns.
PS Tell your son the photo of him doing homework is EXTRAordinary - again :)
wow this is great
love the colors
So thoughtful - so true. Thank you for the beautiful reminder that the hard days are not over for so many. Your interpretation is wonderful and your colors perfect. Lovely in every way!
Wonderful job. Very timely.
love
I like the idea behind this, and I really like how you made the water.

I was just thinking about this very thing this morning. The Salvation Army depot in Fort Worth is getting bogged down due to lack of volunteers to help sort and distribute the tons and tons of supplies and such for the hurricane survivors living in our area.
As for the illustration, I love the colors and textures, really lovely.
great colours and patterns. I really like the quilting stitches in the hills.
great illustration!
thank you everyone! I had thought of trying this in collage, or after receiving ATC from Fiona, a sewn piece. Of course I was just dreaming about the time I had to do that! So as usual resorted to the quick and easy computer. (slapping my hand now). So instead of paper, or fabric, I took a little more time on this one to add the texture to the clothes.
This really does show how humans are essentially powerless in the face of the strong elements of nature. As a concept, this is striking and powerful. On a purely visual level, I love the composition and the use of the various patterns within your shapes. Well done, Kim!
Hey, there is an OK in the middle of broken... I never noticed that before your illo. Hmmmm
This was really, really cool, loved the colors and movement.
Beautiful!
I never noticed the OK in the middle of broken either - until LDahl pointed it out. Good eye.
This is a poignant illustration with sorrow and hope mixed. I really love your style - it shows in everything you do (or at least the things I've seen you post publically ...) Plus I like that you are thinking of the victims of the most recent tragedies even after some of the hubbub has died down. It's true with everyone who experiences a loss, or a tragedy or both ... that at first there is alot of attention (eg, at the funeral/memorial service/ all the casseroles and pans of cinnamon rolls brought to the homes of the grieving family) yet, when everyone goes home and the funeral is over and the stream of sympathy cards has dwindled to a mere trickle ... that's when the emptiness seems particularly painful, vast, overwhelming. For others, life gets back to normal, but for the victims, or the one left behind ... it takes much longer. I usually wait to send a card or bring food over until I'm pretty sure cards and casseroles aren't coming every day. That's when we all need hugs and love even more. IMO.
sorry to go on and on in a comment.
hugs to you, and my thoughts and prayers to all the victims of the hurricanes,
Maureen
Love your illustration! Great design and sense of color.
Really great work!
Wonderful concept and wonderful illustration.
your message is clear
love the colors and designs.
This fits exactly how I feel these days...but thanks to you and your Mom I do have a better outlook on things. I love you both for being there.
