Description
This piece was created for my Dishythicket shop. I wanted to bring a little of the late 70's/early 80's children's illustration into it. A mingling of retro colors, and big bold flowers. It shows simple pleasures, like how great an ice cream sandwich is in the Summer time.
This was fairly small originally, but I was recently commissioned for a 16x20 version with pink, brown, mint and off white as the color scheme-which should be really pleasing I think. I'll post it to show you guys when I'm done.
media:mixed
size:5x7 inches
The print of this work is available exclusively in my Dishythicket shop!

I love how you took that era and brought it into modern times. LOVE the spread-apart eyes, and the colors are great.

Thank you so much. I also made a pink/brown/green/offwhite version of this for a customer who wanted it for a children's room, but much bigger. It came out really neato to see those other colors.
The wide-apart-eyes are my take on a very popular look, but I was trying to make it less obvious I was simply immitating the other hundred far-apart-eye artists.
I'd like to make more works that have a bit of the 60's and 70's children's book in them, since it's a really notable time frame for style in kid's books.

Aww shucks Andy-tanks.
I got some new works to share soon, from commissions, including a time-traveling girl and one of a dog in period piece clothing. Ya know, normal stuff.
