Illustration Friday, CED 2011 and We Love to Illustrate

"Deja-vu," Umberto whispered under his breath as he, Lila and Cal neared the edge of the clearing.  The others were only a couple feet behind them trying to keep pace.
"No, not again," Heloisa then said sobbing into her arm after she saw what was happening.

(my computer uses the middle size)

This is my entry for Illustration Friday where the theme is Deja-vu.  It is also for the We Love to Illustrate for Children where you get get free computer wallpaper!

I'm also participating in the Creative Everyday Challenge 2011, where you guess it, I'm supposed to be creative everyday, which I usually am, but I'm also using it to keep me a bloggin cuz on Mondays on the CED blog you post an update kinda thingy of what you've been up to all week.  And for the most part of this week I've been all about my favorite band in the whole wide world, Bright Eyes.  My illustration above started out as just the raccoon which I drew for Sunday Sketches and I thought I'd give her some friends and this was all inspired by my Bright eyes tee-shirt (see it on the right there).  If you go and click on the Home button at the top of my blog you can see all the other posts I made this week.  So, that's it for now.
I swear, I won't mention Bright Eyes again, well, for at least a post or two.
Bye!
