			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have no idea why this illustration came to my mind when I saw the theme for this week subject on <a title="Illustration Friday" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a>: Prepare. I did this illustration (actually is a revised version of it) originally for the Chicago Tribune, a couple of years ago. I re-did it (changed a few things) &#8230; but the main subject (the Swiss army knife guy) is pretty close to the first illustration I did&#8230; years ago.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2739" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;" title="flexible worker / prepare to learn new technologies / illustration by Isabelle Cardinal" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/flexible_worker_prepare_lowres.jpg" alt="flexible worker prepare lowres Prepare / flexible worker " width="421" height="525" /></p>
<p>Funny thing, I still feel it apply on today&#8217;s time&#8230; workers often have to be quite flexible and ready to learn some new &#8220;tricks&#8221; to keep up with all the technology and social media. It&#8217;s a jungle out there.. well I guess that&#8217;s why we all need to be prepared. hehehe.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Je ne sais trop pourquoi mais c&#8217;est l&#8217;image qui m&#8217;a semblé la plus appropriée pour le thème de <a title="Illustration Friday" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> cette semaine: Prepare. J&#8217;ai fait cette illustration (en fait c&#8217;est une version ammiliorée hehe) à l&#8217;origine pour le Chicago Tribune.</p>
<p>Bref, c&#8217;elle-ci n&#8217;est pas bien loin de l&#8217;original, l&#8217;idée est la même, le petit monsieur en couteau Suisse, l&#8217;employé flexible. C&#8217;est uelque chose d&#8217;assez important, surtout aujourd&#8217;hui&#8230; avec les nouvelles technologies et les nombreux média sociaux. J&#8217;imagine que c&#8217;est ca le lien entre cette image et le thème&#8230; difficile de faire autrement, il faut être &#8220;préparé&#8217; pour sauter dans l&#8217;arène!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I did not have much time this week but I still found some time do this week theme on <a title="Illustration Friday" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> : sink. Sometimes it&#8217;s good to sink to the bottom.. see what lay there, in the abyss of our own darkness&#8230; I wish human could be like fish&#8230; it&#8217;s so peaceful in the deep sea.&#8212;&#8212;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Je n&#8217;avais pas beaucoup de temps cette semaine, mais j&#8217;ai tout de même trouvé une heure ou deux pour faire le thème de cette semaine sur <a title="Illustration Friday" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a>: Sombrer (couler?).</p>
<p>Quelques fois c&#8217;est pas mauvais d&#8217;aller voir ce qui se cache dans les profondeurs&#8230; dans nos coins sombres. Ca serait chouette  d&#8217;être comme des poissons, non? Pouvoir dormir dans l&#8217;eau&#8230; tout semble si paisible au fond de l&#8217;océan.</p>

<p>When I saw that this week&#8217;s challenge for the <a title="Collage Obsession Challenge" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Collage Obsession challenge</a> was:  Albert Einstein, I was so very happy! I mean, that is probably the coolest (and only one I know, for that matter) scientist that ever lived! So I found a quote that I really loved &#8230; and put together this digital collage illustration. Hope you like it&#8230; and if you do, you can <a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wallpapers/">download it for free</a> (yeah, we all like that word, right?) as a wallpaper for your destop. You can also just go to my &#8220;wallpapers&#8221; link, above. Have a great, amazing week&#8230; and keep moving!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Je suis passé sur le site du <a title="Collage Obsession Challenge" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Collage Obsession Challenge</a> et &#8230; la belle surprise: mon scientifique favorit: le seul, l&#8217;unique Albert Einstein. Un scientifique cool, c&#8217;est rare, non? (mais j&#8217;avoue que je n&#8217;en connais pas beaucoup !) Et en cherchant un peu, j&#8217;ai trouvé une citation (il en a écrit plusieurs!) que j&#8217;aimais beaucoup et qui m&#8217;a inspiré cette illustration. J&#8217;espère que vous aimerez, et si oui.. ca tombe vraiment bien car j&#8217;en ai fait quelques fonds d&#8217;écran ! Oui oui, gratuit!! Juste pour le plaisir de partager ! En<a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wallpapers/"> allant par ici</a> (ou directement sur le lien en haut nommé &#8220;Wallpapers&#8221;). Je vous souhaite une superbe semaine&#8230; pleine de  mouvement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wrath or anger.. is one of the seven deadly sins. It was a tough one to illustrate, because it&#8217;s one of those feelings that are so unpredictable&#8230; and so I kept imagining a two face man. One side of him looks completely &#8220;normal&#8221;, while the other side is sort of disfigured by hatred, anger, wrath. At first I was searching and wondering at &#8220;what&#8221; or &#8220;whom&#8221; he may be angry at&#8230;<a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wrath.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2545" title="wrath - anger- colère one of the seven deadly sins by Isabelle Cardinal" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wrath.jpg" alt="wrath Wrath   Colère" width="411" height="612" /></a></p>
<p>I imagined all kind of scenario&#8217;s&#8230; a dog who looked all sad, a small monkey, a circus buddy. But then I taught&#8230; no, the &#8220;what&#8221; or &#8220;whom&#8221; he is angry about doesn&#8217;t matter, because it could be anything and everything. He just lost control. And he is mad&#8230; mad as hell. Doesn&#8217;t matter what it is about. He lost control and he thinks that being mad and loud will bring that power back. It&#8217;s one great illusion. So I guess I made an illusionist for this wrath sin illustration. &#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>La colère est un des <a title="Les septs péchés capitaux - Wikipédia" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9ch%C3%A9_capital" target="_blank">septs péchés capitaux</a>. Pas facile de trouver comment illustrer celui-ci. C&#8217;est un sentiment que l&#8217;on connait tous, mais à des degrés bien différents.  Au début j&#8217;ai tout de suite pensé à un homme à deux tête. Je savais que ce type représenterait bien la face caché d&#8217;une personnalitée colèrique. Mais ensuite je me suis demandé qui&#8230; ou quoi, pouvais bien le mettre dans une si grande colère. Une tonne d&#8217;idées: un petit chien tristounet, un singe appeuré&#8230; voir même un de ses ami, un saltimbanque?</p>
<p>Et puis non&#8230; il est en colère. Peu importe pour qui, ou pour quoi. En fait il est en manque total de controle. Et c&#8217;est ce controle qu&#8217;il aimerait bien retrouver. C&#8217;est une illusion, bien sur&#8230; d&#8217;ailleur, c&#8217;est peut-être justement là, le problème (et/ou la solution, en fait). J&#8217;ai probablement illustré un illusioniste, finalement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another busy week&#8230; but who am I to complain? &#8230; This week&#8217;s theme on <a title="Illustration Friday website" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> is: Fuel. Soooo busy, I have to dig in my illustration vault, again&#8230; but this was an easy find. I remembered this job very well. This one was done for the Chicago Tribune. I will post the sketch and the page layout below.  I remember I was very happy with the way the art director designed that page. Funny, this was done years ago, but somehow we still have the same issues&#8230; fuel prices are so high, it&#8217;s strangling us. Specially true for people with huge SUV. I guess some things don&#8217;t change. Editorial works are great, I always love a good challenge&#8230; I guess it&#8217;s my fuel.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fuel_snake_ChicagoTribune_IsabelleCardinall.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2506" title="fuel snake illustration for the Chicago Tribune by Isabelle Cardinal" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fuel_snake_ChicagoTribune_IsabelleCardinall.jpg" alt="fuel snake ChicagoTribune IsabelleCardinall Fuel   Carburant" width="414" height="648" /></a>&#8212;&#8212;- Une autre semaine très occupée mais je ne peux pas me plaindre. Donc impossible pour moi de faire le sujet de la semaine sur <a title="Illustration Friday" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">Illustration Friday</a>: Fuel (carburant).</p>
<p>J&#8217;ai donc cherché pour une illustration éditoriale déjà fait sur le sujet&#8230; et je me souvenais de celle-ci, fait pour le Chicago Tribune voilà de cela quelques années. C&#8217;est étrange&#8230; le temps passe mais les problèmes restent les mêmes!! &#8230; le prix de l&#8217;essence est à un niveau record&#8230; c&#8217;est pas facile pour le portefeuille. Encore pire pour ceux avec une camionnette. Mais bref&#8230; j&#8217;ai aimé faire cette illustration, et j&#8217;ai aussi aimé ce que le directeur artistique a fait comme mise-en-page. J&#8217;aime beaucoup faire de l&#8217;editoriale&#8230; il faut trouver des idées rapidement, c&#8217;est mon carburant à moi, j&#8217;imagine. Je retourne travailler sur&#8230; autre chose hihihi.</p>

First of, for <a title="Illustration Friday challenge" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">Illustration Friday</a>: scattered. Definition: To cause to separate and go in different directions. Second of all: I must admit I miss doing the 7 deadly sins, so I did Pride. And thirdly&#8230; I felt  it actually fitted very well the <a title="Collage obsession Challenge" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Collage Obsession Challenge</a> of the week: Alter Egos. You see how torn I was, having to choose in between all these great subjects?? Only have so much time to illustrate in a week!! hehehe&#8230; so I hope you like my mix-match of challenges. Pride is a strange thing, personally I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s such a bad sin&#8230; but then again maybe if those tentacles grabs you&#8230;it can be possible to loose yourself in the projection of this boosted pride alter ego.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>C&#8217;est vraiment mon genre&#8230; faire plusieurs challenges en même temps!! Y avait juste trop de bons thèmes cette semaine intéressants Bref, voici mon illustration multi-thème: Pour <a title="Illustration Friday challenge" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">Illustration Friday</a>: scattered (dispersé, éparpillé), mais aussi parce que j&#8217;ennuyais des 7 péchés capitaux, j&#8217;ai fait l&#8217;orgueil. Et bon, sur <a title="Collage Obsession Challenge" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Collage Obsession Challenge</a> le thème de cette semaine est: Alter Egos. Y a quand même un petit lien ici&#8230; non? Bref, j&#8217;ai eu beaucoup de plaisir a faire cette illustration. J&#8217;ai gardé le style carnavalesque de mes autres &#8220;péchés&#8221;. Au fait, il y a une petite animation&#8230; ca passe vite, il faut être vigilent!!</p>

Contraption&#8230; because I had never heard of this word. Maybe (probably) because my first language is French&#8230; I had to <a title="Definition Contraption" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/contraption" target="_blank">look it up online</a>. Thank you Google. And since it is nearly impossible (for me anyway) to do an illustration in 15 minutes &#8211; always amazed when I see people post illustration on the site in the minute that the subject is up&#8230; how do they do it? Probably are some kind of magician or mind-reader&#8217;s-Or they, has me, worked for years as an editorial illustrators and have a mega-vault of published illustrations on numerous subjects. So here is my entry. Sorry it&#8217;s a re-heat&#8230; I always love to cook original images for IF&#8230; but some week are busier then others. This illo was originally done for <a title="Computer World Magazine" href="http://www.computerworld.com/" target="_blank">Computer World magazine</a>, with a very interesting story from Gary H. Anthes alongside: &#8220;Roll your Own&#8221;. On how (and mostly why) some company&#8217;s decide to build their own software instead of using off-the-shelf ones.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Un machin, un truc&#8230; voilà le thème d&#8217;IF pour cette semaine. En cherchant sur Google j&#8217;ai trouvé une définition un peu plus précise`un gadget électronique&#8221;. Impossible pour moi de faire une illustration en 15 minutes. Esquisse? Oui&#8230; mais illustration, en photo-montage? No way. Je me demande en fait souvent comment les illustrateurs sur le site peuvent pondre une image aussi rapidement&#8230; le sujet vient juste d&#8217;apparaitre et hop&#8230; voila! Mais peut-être sont-ils comme moi&#8230; des illustrateurs qui ont travaillés longtemps en éditorial et ils ont plusieurs images dans leur &#8220;coffre&#8221;&#8230; bref  en voici une qui a été fait pour le <a title="Computer World Magazine" href="http://www.computerworld.com/" target="_blank">Computer World magazine</a>, voilà quelques temps déjà, mais que j&#8217;ai bien aimé faire. Pour un article sympa écrit par Gary H. Anthes et ayant pour titre &#8220;Roll your own&#8221;. Le sujet: les entreprises qui décident de fabriquer eux-mêmes les logiciels qu&#8217;ils utilisent au lieu d&#8217;acheter ce qui est disponible sur le marché. Pourquoi cette illo? Je trouve qu&#8217;elle vieillit bien&#8230; et j&#8217;aime la répétition des robots/logiciels&#8230;. je veus dire des &#8220;machins&#8221;, des &#8220;trucs&#8221;. hehehe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a fun (quick) illustration I did with the theme of the <a title="Collage Obsession Challenge / sepia + pastel color wheel" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/10/sepia-pastel-color-wheel.html" target="_blank">Collage Obsession Challenge</a> of the week being Sepia + pastel color wheel. Also I added a card texture to the back as if it was a birthday card (would&#8217;nt that be cool as a real one? I think so too). And when it got finished I just had that &#8220;Show your true colors&#8221; pop into my mind, so I wrote it. I also got inspired by the (great) blog of <a title="Itkupilli Blog" href="http://bohemianitkupilli.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Itkupilli</a>, specially when I saw that she posted some of the <a title="Bohemianitkupilli / disguise" href="http://bohemianitkupilli.blogspot.com/2011/08/disguise.html" target="_blank">pics she used to do her collage-art</a>&#8230; what a cool idea!!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2411" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;" title="Show your true colors / pastels" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Show_your_true_colors_pastels.jpg" alt="Show your true colors pastels Show your true colors   pastel" width="384" height="576" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/someimagest.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2420" title="Some images used for this digital collage" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/someimagest-300x240.jpg" alt="someimagest 300x240 Show your true colors   pastel" width="300" height="240" /></a>So the challenge was to use the pastel palette provided &#8230; and (as I understood it anyway hehe) the sepia tones. I decided to use the palette in the umbrella. I am posting (almost) all of the pictures I used. The main photo (girl with the umbrella) is from <a title="The commons / Flickr / Public domain photos" href="http://www.flickr.com/commons/usage" target="_blank">The Commons (Flickr)</a>&#8230; all of them are public domain pics from my &#8220;old pics vault&#8221;. The skeleton bird  is also public domain, and was found on Wiki.</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s the fact that she is wearing a mask, or that she is actually aware that she is &#8220;different&#8221;, and loving it? Who knows&#8230; One thing is for sure, it was fun to collage this.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Une illustration fait rapidement pour le site <a title="Collage obsession challenge / Pastel" href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/10/sepia-pastel-color-wheel.html" target="_blank">Collage Obsession Challenge</a>. J&#8217;ai aussi posté quelques unes des photos utilisées pour mon collage&#8230; inspiré par le blog de <a title="Bohemian Itkupilli blog / Disguise" href="http://bohemianitkupilli.blogspot.com/2011/08/disguise.html">Itkupilli</a> et je trouvais l&#8217;idée génial. La photo de base (la femme au parapluie) a été prise sur Flickr, dans la section <a title="Flickr photos / The commons / usage" href="http://www.flickr.com/commons/usage" target="_blank">&#8220;The Commons&#8221;</a>, donc libre de droits. Toutes les autres sont de vieilles photos dans le domaine publique. Le squelette du petit oiseau arrive de Wiki&#8230; lui aussi est du domaine publique même si il a été re-travaillé et qu&#8217;il a maintenant une tête (!). Je trouve important de m&#8217;assurer de tout ca avant de faire mes collages digitales.</p>
<p>La phrase &#8220;Show your true colors&#8221; m&#8217;a semblé judicieuse pour cette image&#8230; je ne sais pas si c&#8217;est à cause du masque (style femme-chat) ou si c&#8217;est simplement que la fille semble tout à fait en paix avec ce qui l&#8217;entoure&#8230; mais bref, j&#8217;ai aimé faire ce collage digital.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">The definition of the hermit is of &#8220;A person who has withdrawn from society and lives a solidatary existence; a recluse.&#8221; So when the<a title="Illustration Friday" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank"> IF theme</a> of the week was announced (hibernate), I immediately got to think of that tarot card. In the tarot cards, the hermit is actually not a bad card, it&#8217;s<a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/hibernate_hermite_low.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2385 alignright" title="hibernate hermit tartot card by Isabelle Cardinal" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/hibernate_hermite_low.jpg" alt="hibernate hermite low Hermit   Lhermite" width="386" height="695" /></a> more of an introspection card. I think it&#8217;s a bit normal, in real life, to have time to be alone and just do nothing.. contemplate our life&#8230; just stop for a little while. To me it is actually a pretty sane thing to do. But the other extreme can take you in an all new direction.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I have seen people around me choose loneliness instead of togetherness. It is sad because they are missing out on so many things; ray of sunshine, children laughing, great conversations&#8230; I mean&#8230; life IS experimenting, moving, going forward. The bears do hibernate&#8230; but for a little while only. They do, at one point, get out of their cave and make the best of all seasons. I get that sometimes it &#8220;feel&#8221; safer to stay home, to be alone&#8230; but too much of the alone always turn out to loneliness, and who want&#8217;s to be lonely, really? So introspection is good, but at one point we got to get outside.. play with the little bears!! <img src='http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile Hermit   Lhermite" class='wp-smiley' title="Hermit   Lhermite" /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">La définition de l&#8217;hermite est en fait : &#8220;Solitaire retiré dans un lieu désert, où il se livre à des exercices de piété. Vivre comme un ermite, vivre seul, loin du monde.&#8221; Donc quand j&#8217;ai lu que le thème de cette semaine sur <a title="illustration friday" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> était &#8220;Hiberné&#8221;, j&#8217;ai tout de suite pensé à cette carte de tarot qu&#8217;est l&#8217;hermite. En fait cette carte n&#8217;est pas vraiment négative&#8230; elle représente l&#8217;introspection, ce qui n&#8217;est jamais une mauvaise chose.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">J&#8217;aime bien l&#8217;idée de prendre du temps pour soi, de ne rien faire de temps en temps, bref de prendre le temps de rester à la maison.  Par contre je me demande des fois ou est la ligne. Je vois autour de moi des gens s&#8217;isoler, choisir la solitude, la vie d&#8217;hermite. Ca m&#8217;attriste parce que la vie a tellement de belles choses à offrir, et en se coupant des autres, ils se coupent de tellement de belles choses, de beaux moments qui ne repasseront plus&#8230; des rayons du soleil jusqu&#8217;au rire des enfants, aux belles (et bonnes) discutions. La vie, n&#8217;est-ce pas justement d&#8217;expérimenter, de bouger, d&#8217;avancer? Même l&#8217;ours, qui dort pendant plusieurs mois pendant l&#8217;hiver, finit par sortir de sa grotte, éventuellement. Je comprends qu&#8217;on puisse se sentir en &#8220;sécurité&#8221; à la maison, en étant dans nos habitudes.. mais à la longue, à dire au monde entier qu&#8217;on aime mieux être seul, on finit par se sentir seul. Bref&#8230; l&#8217;instrospection c&#8217;est super, pour un petit bout de temps, mais après quelques jours, ou quelques mois, il faut pouvoir sortir&#8230; et jouer avec les bébés oursons.</p>
