Come prepared, or go home!

The word of the week according to Illustrationfriday.com is prepare. In order to be successful in dance it's important to know the proper gear to come to dance lessons to be prepared, or the act of preparing yourself in rehearsal in order to have a successful outcome either on stage at a recital or dance video. I think a lot of people in today's society have come to appreciate more and more the dance profession and the beauty it brings to watch either on "So you Think You Can Dance" or "Dancing with the Stars." Graphic Designers have also been bringing beauty to the eye for years such as Fred Greenhill, a freelance illustrator who also served in WWII. He studied art and French at the University of Texas. He is a good example of how following your heart with art can bring a positive attitude in the art profession.

Here is one of my favourite pieces illustrated by Fred Greenhill in 1957. You can also find this picture on Leif Peng's flicker set. Every girl should be prepared with shoes.

Here is a piece I am working on that interprets dance and prepare.

This piece is being done in CS5 adobe photoshop using only the paint brush, just as a real artist would.
