It’s that time of year again: school’s almost out … summer vacations are so close (Yeah!!) I am betting even the teachers are happy! hehehe… and why not? They are working so hard, all year long… have to say thank you!! I am giving the usual bookmark illustration I now make (it’s kind of a tradition now I guess hehehe). I did this illustration for them… with some inspiration from the IF of last week (yes, Friday already!!)… theme was “Hurry!” hehehe… yes, and I did not hurry enough!
Also, for the Collage Obsession challenge, the theme was “Spiral”… so I had to put a twirly little thing somewhere. I am happy with the result, I think we live in such a fast-crazy time… it’s a good reminder of the importance of slowing down… maybe read a book in the meantime, too? hehe… well happy summer vacation to all the parents, teachers, and happy kids!!

Les vacances arrivent bientôt!! Les élèves doivent être contents… et les profs aussi!! Je récidive avec mon signet comme cadeau de fin d’année pour eux, encore une fois!! C’est maintenant une tradition on dirait. Je me suis inspiré des thèmes de cette semaine sur deux sites différents: sur Illustration Friday, le thème de la semaine était “Hurry!” … “Dépèchez-vous!”… ouais, et c’est déjà terminé haha… pas grave. J’ai aussi eu l’idée d’insérer une spirale, car c’est le thème du Collage Obsession Challenge de cette semaine.
Je trouve chouette l’idée de prendre le temps… on est tellement dans le tourbillon de la vie, qu’on oublie que l’important ce n’est pas d’aller rapidement, mais juste d’avancer… tranquillement, et de profiter un peu, beaucoup… de la vie et du temps présent. Bonnes vacances à tous!! Profs, élèves, parents etc etc…!!!
I will go visit your website now!! I miss checking other websites of illustrators, too!! hehe

très belle pensée qui me touche en tant qu’ancien prof. et j’aime bien la citation, bon été à toi également
Robert je ne savais pas que tu avais été prof?!! Qu’est-ce que tu enseignait? (si ce n’est pas trop indiscret?) J’ai énormément d’admiration pour les profs… ce n’est pas un job facile, ca demande de la patience, du savoir-faire, une bonne dose d’humour et une énorme dose d’amour
