illustration friday: invention

Here's my submission for Illustration Friday's theme of "invention"

(click the image to enlarge)

I didn't have time to create new art with the holiday and lots of work deadlines. So I am posting a work from one of my podcast challenges. This piece was created in 20 minutes with a theme revealed to me right before I begin the artwork. It's really hard to try to create something in just 20 minutes, but fun too!

Great illustration! What a neat challenge...I love the idea of working quickly. It helps more along the thought process and eliminates the second guessing.
