Illustration Friday-"Foggy"














I just moved to San Francisco and it is frequently foggy in my neighborhood. I kind of like it but sometimes I wish the sun would hold it back for awhile. 

This illustration is of me making my epic journey from Texas to California. Except for in real life I was in the cab of a UHaul with my husband, 2 cats, and a Mexican Petunia. Traveling by umbrella would have been nice.

This is so lovely! The slant on the illustration adds a great visual whimsy to the piece as well as how the sun is streaming down against the waves. Just an amazing piece! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful Sarah. This image looks more like you are falling than travelling. (I'm sorry if this is a duplicate--It doesn't seem like my first comment "took")

This is beautiful! Thanks for viewing my blog. Welcome to the Bay Area. SF's a huge change from Texas! You can always drive a bit south for a little sunshine. Hope to see you at an SCBWI event someday.
