I just got a flash of on image in my head – this little girl sitting in, not a “highchair”, but a chair with long tall legs. So I started drawing her, and the chair around her and as I drew, the chair just... became, a bird. Then it got fun. It’s just a sketch now – but I’m really looking forward to finishing it!
I’ve shown it to a few friends and what I really love is that they don’t know if it’s supposed to be real or if she’s imagining it, or what. I really hate how the first question they ask is: Is it an ostrich?
No, no no nononononooooo.
I don’t know what it is, but I like it!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :)

I've never seen your work before. I love your style! It's right up my alley, especially this girl in her whacky chair!
Hey, cool illos on both parts.
scbwi NYC was my first time, and I am still digesting all that ocurred. It's encouraging and exciting, but sort of deflating and disheartening at the same time. I am thinking about going to the California one in August, just to give it one more try now I feel a little more educated. beyond that, I don't know, I'll just keep doing what I do and see where it leads me. I am not going to allow myself to get too caught up in all the bulls**t. My time is too precious on this earth as it is, and stress is not an option. Just means it's not meant to be if it doesn't work out. I understand what you mean though. Thanks for stopping by.

I like this one a lot! It's wonderful just the way it is - great idea and composition, but I can't wait to see it finished! And I really agree with you on your previous post!
All the best!
Both of your CHAIR submissions are FANTASTIC !Wish I did the one at the top especially.
fantastic!
Wonderful illustration! Always a pleasure to return and see what you have this week.
I absolutely love it. You combine skillful drawing with a great imagination.
awesome idea for a high chair. very imaginative.
I love both of your chair entries!! Very different style, yet they are all very good!! Love the bottom one for the creativity!! Amazing design!! The top one is very delicate! Beautiful works!
Beautiful detailed work, embea. This one is total fun, like an old John Lennon doodle or sumthin' ... keep the submissions coming.
Wow, this is stunning! Love the girl and her chair. Her imagination (and yours!) is very creative.
I enjoyed both of your submissions, but this is my favorite. I love how whimsical and fun it is!
good job with a difficult word! very creative!
You have certainly covered the wide world of chairs in your two posts! As much as I initially dislike topics like the one this week, I find that they push me to think outside the box and come up with an idea I want to draw! I love how you let your fanciful mind (where unicorns and other mythological creatures seem to romp free) just take over and create something fabulous! Will you add color to this? I absolutely adore what you do with colored pencil:>
I think that all the bases were covered by everyone about your illustrations. Thank you for the post/comment. I like your illustrations as well, from your other blog. Very clean...I like that stuff. Have you ever seen www.totembookmedia.com or www.kurthalsey.com ???? I am inspired by them at times, beyond some current animators. Thanks again. ts
WONDERFUL
I love it when a form just grows and grows on you and takes on a life and destiny of its own
Very cool idea, a chair that morphs with the sitter's imagination! I bet it'll look marvellous with colors. Your little chair designs in pt 1 are equally splendid!
great job once again. i love the overall style, energetic and lively. you should consider doing a short animation based on it, i think there may be a lot of things you can do about it.
Very cute and original. I would love to see the finished piece. The expression on the girls face is great too.
