illustration friday: infinite

Here's my submission this this weeks illustration friday theme of "infinite".

ironing_illo_friday

Doesn't it seem like doing the laundry is an infinite task? As soon as you are done, there is more to do!

I worked on this piece today and the idea came to me partly because I am doing laundry in between making art, fortunately I am not ironing like this gal! Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. Good take on the theme. Minutes ago I mentioned to my brother that the thing I hated about Laundry was that it was never actually done.

  11. or you can be like me and don't iron...haha. I just wear wrinkly clothes. :)

    thanks for the link to your friends website 'aplacetobark'. She does incredible work and i only wish i could do more for the animals in my community. I really would love to live in a place where I can have tons of property and rescue animals. Maybe one day. :)
