Anyway the 1950'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!

<blockquote><p>&#8220;Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.&#8221;  ~ Ernestine Ulmer.</p></blockquote>
<p>So like many of you I am really into <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Men" target="_blank">Mad Men </a>&#8230; 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&#8217;s and 60&#8217;s were also about the classic horror/monsters movies &#8211; Godzilla style. And TV, yep, it was all about television.  So here is my vision of &#8220;dessert&#8221;. Hope you like it!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Cette semaine le thème pour <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> est: Dessert. Hé oui&#8230; impossible de ne pas résister à ce thème. Voici donc ma vision de la chose&#8230; à la <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Men" target="_blank">Mad Men</a>. 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&#8242; /60&#8242;, 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 &#8220;non-dit&#8221;. Bref j&#8217;adore. Mais ca m&#8217;a aussi fait penser aux films d&#8217;horreurs classiques de ces années là, Godzilla&#8217;s etc. Les débuts de la télé&#8230; grande fascination de l&#8217;époque. Voici donc ma vision de &#8220;dessert&#8221;. Esperont que vous aimerez!</p>

<p>Here is my take on this week subject for<a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank"> IF </a>&#8230; and I also wanted to share with you two other ideas I had in mind, and my sketch for the final I did. I am browsing a lot of great web site these days and I realized I really enjoy seeing the &#8220;process&#8221; behind the final illustration. So here are 2 other ideas and the one sketch (yep, no 3) that I liked the most. It&#8217;s a pretty interesting subject, because so many things can be seen as &#8220;immovable&#8221;. Time, space, elephants, huge rocks, slunk, porcupine&#8230;. or just a teen boy playing on his ipod touch for hours&#8230; and hours&#8230;. and&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/immovable_sketches31.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-680" title="immovable 3 sketches" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/immovable_sketches31-232x300.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/immovable_sketches31.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Cette semaine le thème de<a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank"> IF </a>est: immovable. Ce qui pourrait se traduire ainsi: Impossible à bouger. Et après plusieurs visites sur des sites d&#8217;illustrateurs qui exposait leurs esquisses&#8230; je me décide et je poste ici quelques idées. J&#8217;ai pensé à une tonne de trucs pour le sujet de cette semaine: le temps, l&#8217;espace, un éléphant, une méga gros rocher, une moufette, un porc-épic et finallement, pourquoi pas un ado assis sur son sofa avec son Ipod&#8230; il me semble que c&#8217;est difficile de trouver plus immobile &#8230; hehehe. Sketches 1-2-3 :</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Star gazing... (theme of the week for IF) seems like it's been a while since I did just that. Look up at night. Wait for a shooting star... close your eyes and make a wish. Sometimes I am so hypnotized with this beautiful and luminous screen and it's content (and boy do we have content:  Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube... that I sort of forget to look outside... and to GO outside. With this image I just wanted to show the link we feel with the universe when we look at the sky at night. It's a feeling that no technological invention can beat. And it's not about watching some body else's life, it's about living ours. I am turning this computer off for now, putting my sign on: Gone star gazing!"

<p>Star gazing&#8230; (theme of the week for <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a>) seems like it&#8217;s been a while since I did just that. Look up at night. Wait for a shooting star&#8230; close your eyes and make a wish. Sometimes I am so hypnotized with this beautiful and luminous screen and it&#8217;s content &#8211; and boy do we have content:  Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube&#8230;-  that I sort of forget to look outside&#8230; and to GO outside. With this image I just wanted to show the link we feel with the universe when we look at the sky at night. It&#8217;s a feeling that no technological invention can beat. And it&#8217;s not about watching some body else&#8217;s life, it&#8217;s about living ours. I am turning this computer off for now, putting my sign on: Gone star gazing!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<div>Regarder les étoiles (le thème de la semaine sur <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a>) &#8230; Ça fait si longtemps que j&#8217;ai pris le temps de faire ça. Regarder le ciel la nuit. Attendre de voir une étoile filante. Fermer les yeux et faire un souhait. Des fois je deviens tellement hypnotisée par ce beau petit écran lumineux et ce qu&#8217;il contient (car il en contient des trucs: Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube&#8230;.) que j&#8217;oublie de regarder dehors&#8230; ou de SORTIR dehors! Avec cette image je voulais illustrer le lien qu&#8217;on peut ressentir avec l&#8217;univers en ne faisant que ca: regarder les étoiles. C&#8217;est quelque chose qui n&#8217;a pas son pareil, et ca même dans notre beau monde technologique. Arrêter de regarder les autres vivres leurs vie, et vivre la nôtre. On éteint tout et on va voir si les étoiles sont encore là ce soir?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got to let them free. I know how it is, we are all a bit over protective. I have to keep reminding myself that my kid is growing up. One day he&#8217;ll fly on his own&#8230; but he has to learn, try, fall, try again. The cage is not a good idea, even if it is a golden one. Who like to feel caged? no one. Remember that, mom!! (talking to self) hehehe</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>On doit leur donner la liberté. Nous sommes tous un peu &#8220;mère-poule&#8221; avec nos enfants. Je suis probablement la reine! Bref, je dois me rappeler constamment (ou les autres le font avec joie) que mon kid grandit! Que ca ne sert à rien de vouloir le surprotéger&#8230; que ce n&#8217;est pas ainsi qu&#8217;il va apprendre à faire les choses seul. Il va devoir essayer, tomber, se relever, essayer à nouveau. Le mettre en cage ne l&#8217;aiderait surement pas, aussi dorée soit-elle. Qui aime être en cage? Personne. Souviens-toi de ca, Maman! (ici, je me parle&#8230; hihihi)<a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/caged_lowres.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-603" title="caged" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/caged_lowres.jpg" alt="Child in cage, birds are free (and parents?)" width="428" height="613" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Soooo many ideas for this week&#8217;s topic on <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a>: artificial. And so little time!!  But here it is. And here is also my version of a cat-robot. This is wishful thinking because I just loooove cats but I am just soooo allergic to them that it is impossible for us to get one. Sad, I know&#8230; but I bet I would do ok with that one. I bet he can roll on his back wheels too, probably quite fast. Have a great week!<a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/artificial_lowres.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-586" title="artificial" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/artificial_lowres.jpg" alt="Artificial - illustration by Isabelle Cardinal" width="396" height="648" /></a>  &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Tellement d&#8217;idées pour le sujet de cette semaine sur <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a>: artificiel. Et trop peu de temps!! Mais bon la voici. Et j&#8217;ai même ajouté ma version d&#8217;un chat robot. J&#8217;aimerais beaucoup en avoir un comme celui-là&#8230; j&#8217;adooooore les chats et je suis trooooop allergique à eux. Je crois que celui-là serait parfait pour moi. En plus je lui ai installé des roues en arrière (c&#8217;est possible, c&#8217;est un robot)&#8230;histoire qu&#8217;il puisse aller très vite. Ciao et bonne semaine à tous!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This&#8230; is such an amazing idea!! If you do not already know about <a href="http://arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject" target="_blank">The Sketchbook Project</a>, you have to check it out! I found this trough one of my fellow illustrator colleague &#8230;and friend (Merci Nathalie), and I had to participate. This will be so much fun to do. The actual challenge was to choose a theme&#8230; and I decided to go with : Figuring you out. I don&#8217;t know what I was thinking&#8230; because <strong>you</strong> are so difficult to figure out. hehehe. Anyway the goal is to create-draw-paste-paint-fill out our sketchbook for January 15th 2011, and send it back so all the sketchbooks will go on tour across the US and then finish it&#8217;s life at the Brooklyn Art Library. But wait, there is another fun part to it! All the books have a bar code so we can get notify (an email or text msg) every time our book is viewed both in the tour and at the Brooklyn Art Library. Yep&#8230; amazing project. <a href="http://thesketchbookproject.com"><img src="http://arthousecoop.com/images/templates/sketchbook5/sharing/500x350.jpg" alt="The Sketchbook Project: 2011" width="500" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p> Quelle idée géniale!! Si vous ne connaissez pas encore ce projet&#8230; qui se nomme en fait &#8220;<a href="http://arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject/" target="_blank">The Sketchbook Project</a>&#8220;, vous devez absolument vous rendre sur le site. Merci à ma chère collègue et amie illustratrice Nathalie Dion, pour m&#8217;avoir fait découvrir le tout! (parfois c&#8217;est bien d&#8217;aller sur Facebook hihi). Que c&#8217;est difficile, choisir le thème de ce type de projet!! Finallement je me suis décidée pour : &#8220; Figuring you out &#8221; qui se traduirait par&#8230;. humm&#8230; &#8220;Essayé de te comprendre&#8221; &#8230;? Ok&#8230;. j&#8217;ai parfois de la misère à ME comprendre, alors &#8230; on va voir ce que ca donne! Je vais poster ici quelques pages aussitôt que j&#8217;aurai recu (et commencer!) mon book, mais vous pourrez aussi vous rendre dans quelques villes Américaines pour voir  mon cahier d&#8217;esquisses&#8230;. car ouais, il partira en tournée en 2011 pour finir sa vie dans la &#8220;Brooklyn Art Library&#8221;, à NY.</p>

But it could also be call &#8220;do not hesitate to break the pattern!&#8221;&#8230; I like it when there is an element of surprise in an illustration. And this theme seems appropriate for it. So this is kind of a tribute to people who are not afraid to look behind things (and people). It is often when we scratch the surface that we find the most interesting things. Well what can I say? I had fun doing this.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Le thème pour cette semaine <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">(IF)</a> est &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paisley_(design)" target="_blank">Paisley</a>&#8220;&#8230; je ne suis pas certaine que ca se traduise&#8230; c&#8217;est la texture en forme de goutte. C&#8217;est aussi un peu ma facon de dire que c&#8217;est toujours intéressant de regarder ce qui se cache derrière les choses&#8230; c&#8217;est souvent en grattant la surface et en explorant qu&#8217;on découvre un monde tout à fait différent. Que puis-je ajouter? J&#8217;ai eu du plaisir à faire cette image.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week&#8217;s illustration theme for <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> (yeah I am late, it is Friday already!) was Ripple. It has a special meaning because all the illustrations that were made for this week&#8217;s topic are about the oil spill in the gulf. <a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ripple_lowres1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-456" title="Gulf-spill-ripple1" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ripple_lowres1.jpg" alt="" width="278" height="389" /></a>So all the illustrations had to be 2.5 x 3.5  and are for sell&#8230; all profits (yes ALL) will be donated for two great causes (at 10.00$ each signed on the back)  <a href="http://www.imms.org/" target="_blank">The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies </a>or <a href="http://www.ibrrc.org/" target="_blank">The International Bird Rescu</a><a href="http://www.ibrrc.org/" target="_blank">e Research Center</a> . You can visit the site here: <a href="http://ripplesketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">ripplesketches</a> to see all the illustrations.  /// Update &#8211; June 25th&#8211;&#8221;A song&#8221; has been sold!! Yeah!! &#8230; still one left, the &#8220;Help&#8221; illustration! You can find it<a href="http://ripplesketches.blogspot.com/2010/06/593-594-i-felt-i-had-to-give-animals.html" target="_blank"> here!</a>  ///</p>
<p>My idea behind the two illo&#8217;s: I feel really sad to see all these birds dying because of the oil spill&#8230; so I imagined a guy refusing to see the obvious (yeah, corporate kind) and the bird, well the bird  doesn&#8217;t have a voice to cry and ask for help. They die in silence. So on the second illo I gave the bird a voice. I hope you will donate for this cause. Can be time, can be an artwork, can be money. Anything will help them.<a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ripple2_lowres.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-459" title="Gulf-spill-Ripple2" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ripple2_lowres.jpg" alt="" width="278" height="390" /></a></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>En Français maintenant! Le sujet <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">d&#8217;Illustration Friday </a>de la semaine dernière&#8230; (ben oui je suis en retard&#8230;mais c&#8217;est pour une bonne cause) : &#8220;Ripple&#8221; : vous savez ces petits ronds qui apparaissent dans l&#8217;eau quand on lance une roche? Bon ben c&#8217;est ca le sujet. Si quelqu&#8217;un quelque part connait un mot en  français qui peut remplacer cette longue phrase interminable, je vais le prendre.  Bref&#8230; le sujet est en fait le désastre écologique qui perdure dans le golf du Mexique. Ainsi, chaque illustration sera vendue (10$ chaque) sur le site  <a href="http://ripplesketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">ripplesketches</a> Ce sont de petites illustrations de 2.5&#8243;  x  3.5&#8243; et les dons (chaque sous) seront remis a deux organismes :  <a href="http://www.imms.org/" target="_blank">The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies </a>or <a href="http://www.ibrrc.org/" target="_blank">The International Bird Rescu</a><a href="http://www.ibrrc.org/" target="_blank">e Research Center</a> .</p>
<p>Pour ce qui est des deux illustrations en question&#8230; l&#8217;idée était de donner une voix à ces oiseaux qui n&#8217;en ont pas. Svp donnez pour la cause, que ce soit en temps, en argent ou en illustrant. Les 2 illustrations suivantes seront imprimées sur un papier de bonne qualité, signées à l&#8217;endos et envoyées directement par moi.</p>
