Illustration Friday - "Fierce"

©Kathleen Rietz
I thought I'd roll out an oldie but a goody. This was one of the very first illustrations I drew for Illustration Friday when the theme was "hide". But, you know, this little girl is mighty fierce. At least her monsters think so!

    The little girl is adorable and I love the Where-the-Wild-Things-Are-feel of the monsters. Great story-telling!

    Her name wouldn't be "Boo" would it? That door is sure to go thru the shredder for sure! :P

    I'll tell you an unfortunate secret... when there are a million comments on a post I usually don't comment because I think "well... they've said it already." But seriously Kate, this is so delightful. I love love love the humor, and your craft is always brilliant.

    She looks like the kind of girl that would make monsters run if she snapped her fingers! I've always loved this drawing! Hmmm, I wonder what it would look like in color (hint!) *wink*

    So much detail, so much to take in. I love illustrations like that, the ones that make you linger, going from one gag or detail to the next. Great work Kate!

    Heya~ I love this image!!!!! I deleted my bird on wire studio blog and am creating another one. ...but I'm still reading (and loving) your site.

    This image is fantastic. I can relate so well to this kind of mood...I especially love the wooden duck rolling away in fear! Brilliant! As always... :)
