Flight of the honeybee
Monday, June 7th, 2010
This is for a contest put on by SCBWI-RMC. The prompt for this was “Let creativity take flight.”
I think I got the idea from weeding the garden.

Here’s the final piece all put together. This is an alternate idea for the “conversations I’ve never had”… maybe I’m done? Maybe?

A “conversation I’ve never had,” my idea so far for a submission for the Nobrow Press open invitation illustration project. (Check out the other entries in the Flickr group here.)
I’m still not sure about the design, so it might evolve over the coming week. I wanted it dark and mysterious and murky, but it ended up just looking dark and, uh, dark. I think the more monochromatic version works better. It’s less cheerful. Here you can see the original painting~
I also wanted to add some text, as it is meant to be a conversation. I had various hackneyed ideas about how krill tastes, favorite whale songs, etc., but I went for “how do you breathe when you’re asleep?” because it’s something I’d actually like to know. Blue whales do not breathe involuntarily like us. Do they sleep at all? I could probably look this up right now on wikipedia, but I’d rather leave the questions unanswered for the moment…
