I-F: Adapt & every day in may


Chameleons would have to be one of nature's most adaptable creatures. But still, even a chamelon has those days where 'ya just gotta be you'. my watercolour and pencil submission for Illustration Friday.

and also the last day of every day in may. I don't think I kept up with EVERY day in May, I am sorry to say, but I had good excuses: computer failure, a funeral, and a wicked sinus cold. I probably did do work on my children's book text almost every day, and I am happy to say, it is ready to be handed in tomorrow as Draft 8. so even if I didn't post about it every day as I had hoped, I'm glad I did it. yay for may :)

Nicky Linzey said...

Love this, especially the contrast of the background idea of 'gotta be you' rather than the obvious adapting.

Every day in May did have its challenges, but I tried my best as well.... even when I was able to do it, I wasn't always good about posting. I guess it is more about the effort behind it, right. =)
Fun chameleon.
