Current Idea

I started out thinking about What I was making for my book, and having had a certain song stuck in my head, I originally thought about finding a song filled with profanity and illustrating a children's book using the lyrics form the song. I planned on making the pages plush, like a baby book, and the illustrations childish. I planned on using the "I'm on a boat" song, but later decided that I did not want to use someone else's lyrics.

The new Idea I had was based off of the multiple drawings I have been doing lately, found at my deviantArt site, which are broken down into more simple shapes, easily converted into a pain/color by number. I love the idea of using these sketches that have no place other than my sketchbook as of now, and I want tot bring in the hand drawn quality to the digital print, but I need to develop the idea further.

I'm open to suggestions, and am looking for a new direction to take this idea, so untill then, sayounara minnasan!

  1. Robin, I kind of like the original idea with the profanity and the children's book! It is very.... controversial and maybe even commenting on the fact that the youth of today is growing up a lot faster... kinda like the disney channel is all about high school musical and stuff like that instead of like little mermaid and lion king and stuff like that. I think you can easily combine your paint by number style paintings as the illustrations. Come up with your own story with profanity your good at that stuff!!!!!

  2. Robin,
    I love the paint by number cat. How many of these have you made? Would you be making a coloring book? I think that you have the kind of sensibility that doesn't just do "cute", but "cute" edgy or maybe even morbid. Morbidly cute?

  3. I really love that cat
    I think that you should have a bunch of animals in the same style maybe even in similar colors one per page
    each page does not need type
    It would be a great self promo piece!!
