This week’s IF is dessert, with this quote that I like a lot:
“Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.” ~ Ernestine Ulmer.
So like many of you I am really into Mad Men … so ok, had to put a Betty-type-of-girl-can-do-it-all-perfect-cupcake-you-name-it-Queen-of-the-house (wow that was something). Anyway the 1950′s and 60′s were also about the classic horror/monsters movies – Godzilla style. And TV, yep, it was all about television. So here is my vision of “dessert”. Hope you like it!
——————-
Cette semaine le thème pour IF est: Dessert. Hé oui… impossible de ne pas résister à ce thème. Voici donc ma vision de la chose… à la Mad Men. Si vous ne connaissez pas cette série, allez vite louer la saison 1 2 et 3 (la 4e est présentement en route). Ça se passe dans les années 50′ /60′, le monde de la pub, le rôle des hommes et des femmes dans le milieu du travail et à la maison, etc. Les costumes et les décors sont franchement hallucinants. Et il y a tout le “non-dit”. Bref j’adore. Mais ca m’a aussi fait penser aux films d’horreurs classiques de ces années là, Godzilla’s etc. Les débuts de la télé… grande fascination de l’époque. Voici donc ma vision de “dessert”. Esperont que vous aimerez!

Merci Marián!! J’ai visité votre site et c’est magnifique ce que vous faites, et ca doit être totalement génial en animation!
Hi Moira! Thanks for stopping by! I know how busy we can get so I appreciate it a lot
Having fun with illustration Friday too, trying to find time to do an extra illo in a week is sometimes quite a challenge… but cool to share and view what so many people create with the same theme. Reminds me of “back in the days” at the university… one theme and 20 different idea/style/creation. hehehe… but with IF it is often 500 results. 
Thanks Nina, Elise, Sonja, Eliza also!! Yes, Mad men is an incredible TV show. I would add a smiley here but I used all my quota for today hehehe. I am a smiley addict. Should have lived in 1950 when people were doing just that… smile. Ho… and smoke. Drink too.
Ha! I LOVE this piece so whimsical I love the wall paper and Godzilla – ha. I also like how you broke the composition with her feet stepping out of the frame – it adds another layer. Lovely piece ♥
love your idea! nice composition
hello, Isabelle, your name really is pretty and so is your illustration
ive never watched Mad Men

currently im watching marathon Desperate Housewives xD
Thanks for the comments (on both my name and my illustration hehehe). I must do that… Desperate Housewives marathon!! I watched some episodes here and there and
always enjoy this show. Too much good TV these days, it’s a problem…finding time!! And Dexter’s new season soon. So many good shows, so little time! And the same goes with blogs and illustrators!! I am finding so many great artists online… I have been to your blog by the way, and your work is awesome. Take care!
I am slow seeing this, wonderful work! I love Mad Men too, took a little bit to grow on me but now I am hooked.
just want you to know that i continue to enjoy your work.
This made me smile! I’m all for eating dessert first!
Lovely
