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>

<p>Je suis assez dernière minute pour le mot de la semaine sur <a title="Illustration Friday" href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a>:  &#8221;Féroce&#8221;. C&#8217;est une image que j&#8217;avais en tête depuis un petit bout de temps. J&#8217;aime bien l&#8217;idée qu&#8217;il puisse exister de très petits lutins. Je pense qu&#8217;ils se promènent dans mon jardin la nuit, se cachant entre les plantes et sous les champignons.  Ils se cachent des chats, bien sur. Pas qu&#8217;un chat soit un animal féroce, loin de là&#8230; à part si on a la grandeur d&#8217;une souris.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trying to hit two trees with one stone here&#8230; did this for <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> and for<a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Collage Obsession</a> challenge! Nice theme. This week while shopping for some shoes for my boy, we met a buffalo man. For sure he was in disguise (cause he looked like a man). He was so angry, it was impossible not to hear him yell at his kid, even when he was on the other aisle. I always feel strange and nervous when I am in the same room as someone with that much rage inside. Bad energy circling around is never fun to experience. And since they were also shopping for shoes, they were tough to avoid. What puzzled me was that his kid was actually behaving quite well, trying some shoes on (but not fast enough for his father). So the buffalo man kept yelling.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/disguise_Lowres.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2237 alignright" title="disguise Illustration  by Isabelle Cardinal" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/disguise_Lowres.jpg" alt="disguise Lowres Disguise / déguisement" width="370" height="567" /></a>So much rage&#8230; I had problems focusing on what we were there for&#8230; finding shoes. Maybe he was lacking sleep or maybe it&#8217;s just his normal way of being.  So here is the Buffalo man, without his disguise. He is holding an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillo" target="_blank">armadillo</a>. I wanted to represent the child as a different creature, a colorful one, but also wanted him to have a good shell for protection.  The colors I choosed are actually meant to be 2:1 for blue and orange, that was a combination offered on the Collage Obsession website. Not sure I have the exact proportions but I did try. Take care, of yourself and of all your armadillo&#8217;s!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Le theme de cette semaine sur <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">If </a>est &#8220;Déguisement&#8221;, j&#8217;ai voulu faire une pierre deux coups en combinant aussi le challenge du <a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Collage Osession Challenge</a>, qui proposait les couleurs complémentaires en proportions intéressantes. L&#8217;idée de l&#8217;homme-bison m&#8217;a été offert par&#8230; lui-même. En magazinant les souliers de mon garcon, un bison (déguisé en homme) criait très fort après son enfant. Si fort qu&#8217;on ne pouvait éviter d&#8217;entendre. Le pire dans tout ca c&#8217;est que  l&#8217;enfant semblait très bien se comporter&#8230; mais il n&#8217;était juste pas &#8220;assez rapide&#8221; à essayer ses souliers, selon le père. Oufff&#8230; difficile à vivre. Bon, peut-être que le bison n&#8217;avait pas eu une bonne nuit de sommeil la veille&#8230; mais quand même. J&#8217;ai toujours beaucoup de misère à voir (et entendre) quelqu&#8217;un crier et perdre les pédales, surtout sur le dos d&#8217;un enfant. Bref je me devait d&#8217;illustrer l&#8217;homme-bison. Sans son déguisement. Il tient dans ses mains un &#8220;<a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatou" target="_blank">tatou</a>&#8220;. Ma facon de donner une armure, une méga protection à l&#8217;enfant. Bonne journée et prenez bien soins de vos petits &#8220;tatous&#8221;!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So this is a great theme.<a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank"> Perennial</a>. Plants and flowers, of course&#8230; and perennials are my favorites, to be honest. I planted lot&#8217;s of them all around our house. But the theme also made me think of growing&#8230; up. Of children, how fast they grow, what they need. The &#8220;recipe&#8221; for both is&#8230; quite similar: seeds (of love), lots of care, and time..</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2039" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;" title="perennial / vivace" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/perennial_low.jpg" alt="perennial low Perennial   Vivace" width="397" height="518" /></p>
<p>The more time, the better. They grow up so fast. This is also a tribute to my parents, the greatest time-love-care givers I know&#8230;. for me and my sister, growing up&#8230; and now for both our kids. I guess good parents makes good grand-parents.  Thanks for your love, care&#8230; and time you spend with our boys. They will cherish it all their life, ans so will we. Love you.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Voici un thème que j&#8217;aime beaucoup. Vivace. Ca fait penser aux plantes et aux fleurs, bien sur&#8230; et ce sont celles que je préfèrent, honnêtement.  J&#8217;en ai planté plusieurs autour de la maison et année après années c&#8217;est vraiment beau de les voir grandir. Ca m&#8217;a donc aussi fait penser aux enfants. Ils grandissent tellement vite! J&#8217;y ai vu un lien. Ca ne prend pas grand chose pour une plante (ou un enfant) pour qu&#8217;il grandisse bien&#8230; de l&#8217;amour, bien sur, mais aussi beaucoup de soins et surtout&#8230; du temps.  J&#8217;en profite  justement pour  remercier mes parents, qui sont les maîtres incontestés du savoir &#8220;donner&#8221;. De l&#8217;amour, des soins et surtout, de leur temps. Merci, pour le temps que vous nous avez donnés&#8230; et pour le temps que vous donnez à nos garcons. Ils s&#8217;en souviendrons toute leurs vies. Et nous aussi. Je vous aimes&#8230; GROS.</p>

This illustration was done for yet another challenge call <a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Collage Obsession</a>, and this week theme is Vampire related. Really what I wanted to do was just make a lady vampire, place her in a very &#8220;portrait&#8221; like manner, and add elements that would generate a story by itself.</p>
<p>Something happened. She looks kind of mad, or sad. Maybe she is holding the skeleton head of her great love. Vampires too, dies, eventually. And the crow, maybe he is just her friend, maybe he is the one that brought the bad news. Maybe she is the one who commited the crime. Vampires are so unpredictable.</p>
<p>One way or the other, I would love to have your own story about this&#8230;so will wait for your comments!! Oh &#8230; just checked on the <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> site&#8230; think I will submit it, since the theme for the week is &#8220;gesture&#8221;. Strangely it also fit the image&#8230; in my view anyway.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>J&#8217;ai vraiment aimé animer une de mes illustrations le mois dernier <a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/2011/06/asleep/">(Asleep)</a>&#8230; donc je récidive ce mois-ci avec ce collage digital. J&#8217;ai puisé l&#8217;idée de vampire par ce site que j&#8217;aime bien: <a href="http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Collage Obsession</a>. C&#8217;étais le thème de la semaine et ca va chercher mon (petit) côté sombre. En partant je voulais simplement faire un genre de &#8220;portrait&#8221; d&#8217;une dame vampire. Et puis je me suis dit pourquoi pas ajouter des éléments pour qu&#8217;on sente bien qu&#8217;il s&#8217;est passé quelque chose. Quoi? Là est la question. Elle semble triste&#8230; ou un peu en colère, non? Est-ce la tête de son amoureux, sur ses genoux? Est-ce que le corbeau est un ami? Ou est-il simplement le messager de cette triste nouvelle? Votre interprétation est la bienvenue! Au fait, étrangement le thème de cette semaine sur <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> est &#8220;gesture&#8221;, traduction: &#8220;faire un geste&#8221;. Ici le geste a été posé&#8230; on ne sait pas qui l&#8217;a fait, peut-être elle&#8230; les vampires sont si imprévisibles!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">A long time ago, I did the illustration for ICI magazine, it was 8 small illustrations on different type of people, and one of these type was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochondriasis">hypochondriacs</a>, as Wiki put it so well: it &#8220;&#8230;refers to excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness&#8221;.  I do not know if there is a remedy for this condition&#8230; but I do know that most of us have some kind of fears, and I guess it&#8217;s all a matter of what we do with it. There is a quote I really like about this&#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability to face it.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">When I saw that this week <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com">Illustration Friday</a> was &#8220;Remedy&#8221;, it&#8217;s the illustration that came to my mind. But when I opened it, I was like &#8220;Humm&#8230; well.. maybe I can re-work it a bit&#8221;. So I did, and I am posting the old one (black and white) and the new version (a bit more colors and some adjustment with the light, textures and details).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/8_hypocondriaque_original.jpg"><br />
</a><a href="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/8_hypocondriaque_remedy_lores.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1889 aligncenter" title="hypochondriac remedy of fear, illustration by Isabelle Cardinal" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/8_hypocondriaque_remedy_lores.jpg" alt="8 hypocondriaque remedy lores Remedy" width="464" height="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Voilà un petit bout de temps déjà, j&#8217;ai fait 8 illustrations pour le (feu) magazine ICI, le but était d&#8217;illustrer 8 type de personnalités, dont l&#8217;une était le type <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocondrie" target="_blank">hypocondriaque</a>. Donc quand j&#8217;ai vu le sujet de la semaine sur <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> (remède), j&#8217;ai tout de suite pensé à cette illustration. Je l&#8217;ai re-travaillé un peu (couleur, lumière, textures) mais c&#8217;est resté assez près de l&#8217;original. Nous avons tous nos peurs, grandes et petites&#8230; mais je crois que le meilleur des remèdes est de&#8230; leurs faire face. Une citation que j&#8217;aime bien:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Le courage n&#8217;est pas l&#8217;absence de peur, mais plutot la capacité d&#8217;y faire face.</p>
</blockquote>

It can be quite difficult to help someone who is &#8220;bottled up&#8221; in his own world, even harder to do so when we see that they are heading for the bottom.  Hope you like this one&#8230;  now going back to work on some new jobs that just got in!  :) Have a great week!!</p>

<p>Cette semaine est complètement folle. Bon je semble toujours et encore me répéter depuis quelques temps mais c&#8217;est vraiment le cas. Pour le <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> de cette semaine, le thème est &#8220;bottled&#8221; et j&#8217;ai tout de suite pensé à cette illustration fait voilà un petit bout de temps pour le magazine Indianapolis Monthly. Une histoire très touchante de deux amis qui tentait d&#8217;aider leur ami à vaincre son problème d&#8217;alcool, en lui écrivant une lettre. Très émouvant comme histoire donc, et j&#8217;ai tenté de &#8220;rendre&#8221; ce sentiment d&#8217;impuissance&#8230; suis assez fière de moi (ce qui est rare!). Alors voilà&#8230; je retourne travailler car j&#8217;ai des nouvelles jobs pour les prochaines semaines!</p>

As a kid, the toy I liked most was my small plastic horses. They were my favorite thing. I would take them all outside and suddenly the bushes were giant trees, a small puddle of water became a giant lake, and the horses of course were suddenly alive. Now why did I put a zebra there instead of a horse? Well I think it&#8217;s more of a graphic thing. Love the patterns on zebra&#8217;s! But any toy-size animal is cool when we are kids. Only take a little bit of imagination to make them &#8220;be alive&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Cette semaine est vraiment mais vraiment occupée! Je voulais quand même prendre (un peu) de temps pour illustrer le sujet de la semaine sur <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> : toy = jouet. Je sais pas pour vous, mais dans mon cas le jouet que j&#8217;aimais le plus quand j&#8217;étais petite c&#8217;était mes petits chevaux en plastique. Des heures passés dans ma cours&#8230; tout à coup les buissons devenaient des arbres énormes, une flaque d&#8217;eau quand à elle avait la dimension d&#8217;un lac&#8230; bref mes chevaux en plastique prenaient vie. Pourquoi le zèbre alors? Bien graphiquement c&#8217;est plus jolie, je trouve&#8230; avec ses rayures noires (à moins qu&#8217;elles soit blanches? On le sait pas vraiment). Un petit peu d&#8217;imagination et voilà que le jouet prend vie.</p>

<p>Cultivate is the theme of this week on <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a>. Funny thing, I began doing this illustration early on this week. I knew I wanted to illustrate about ideas, dreams we have, projects that are in our head but  mostly in our heart. Sooo important to cultivate our dreams. One of the dreams that grow in my head is&#8230; to make a children book (make = write, illustrate and have it publish). It&#8217;s in the first pages of my dream-book. And I think the dandelion will soon fly&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Cultiver. Voilà le thème de <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF (Illustration Friday)</a> de cette semaine. Étrangement j&#8217;avais déjà commencé cette illustration en début de semaine. Quelque chose qui représenterait les idées, les rêves qui habitent notre tête mais surtout notre coeur. Et un de ces rêves c&#8217;est de faire un livre pour enfant. Dois-je préciser&#8230; faire = écrire, illustrer et &#8230; publier. Je crois que le moment est venu&#8230; le pissenlit a été bien cultivé&#8230; l&#8217;<a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappus_(botanique)" target="_blank">aigrette</a> peu s&#8217;envoler.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Word of the week on<a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank"> IF</a>: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarm_behaviour" target="_blank">swarm</a>. Ok first of all, I had no idea what swarm was. Sorry, that&#8217;s what happens when you are born and raised French! But I looked it up. Of course I know what it means (now). I admit that it&#8217;s a million miles away from the first sketch I have drawn. But who cares!!</p>
<p>Also I admit that I sort of made this one to use as my desktop background. So it had to talk about: creativity, following our dreams and of course something related to &#8220;swarm&#8221;.  I had to love the colors too, and not over-crowd it so I could see the 40 folders on my desktop (I am so bad at cleaning up my desktop!! Dusty is my friend, I am telling you!!!) So that&#8217;s it.. If you really really like it, I may put it in the &#8220;wallpaper&#8221; section of my site. But you got to say so.  Have a nice evening!  +++  ho&#8230; forgot to say&#8230; if you think there is a bit of the &#8220;Cirque du soleil&#8221; creativity going on, it&#8217;s because I am sort of dreaming of illustrating for them. I think I will, one day. Sending this idea to the Universe!! Hello??? Universe?? I am calling you!!! <img src='http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile Swarm" class='wp-smiley' title="Swarm" /> </p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1264" title="swarm flying fish - creativity - follow your dream" src="http://www.eyecreate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/swarm_flying_fish.jpg" alt="swarm flying fish Swarm" width="634" height="461" /></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Le mot de la semaine sur <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com" target="_blank">IF</a> est &#8220;swarm&#8221;, ce qui se traduit par &#8220;<a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essaim" target="_blank">essaim</a>&#8221; en français. Mais c&#8217;est aussi associé au fameux mouvement des oiseaux et des bancs de poissons&#8230; quant tous bougent à l&#8217;unisson, qu&#8217;ils ne font qu&#8217;un. Très poétique comme image. Bref j&#8217;ai fait une première esquisse et le final ne ressemble en rien à mon idée de départ, mais peu importe. Je voulais surtout faire une image à utiliser comme fond d&#8217;écran. Donc je cherchais une idée qui parle de &#8220;création&#8221;,  de &#8220;suivre ses rêves&#8221;, et bien-sûr une certaine notion du thème de l&#8217;essaim. Voilà le résultat&#8230; si vous aimez, svp me le dire et je l&#8217;ajouterai dans ma section du site &#8220;wallpaper&#8221; dans plusieurs résolutions différentes. Bon ben, y est tard alors&#8230; bonne nuit!! +++ Ho et si vous voyez un lien avec le Cirque du Soleil&#8230; c&#8217;est que je rêve vraiment d&#8217;illustrer une de leur affiche dans le futur. Univers, tu m&#8217;entends??</p>
