Illustration Friday – Fluid

I missed last weeks! Was really gutted as I had an idea but no time to draw it but may add one anyway.. for this week I am going to cheat because I haven’t time (but did do an illustration friday, just didn’t fit so at least I’m still drawing). This one is from my Sketchbook project book (which I don’t think made it to it’s destination after all that hard work). This page is a poem I wrote a while ago which I then illustrated and it’s about my ever- changing, fluid mood swings (I have bi-polar II).

Illustration Friday: Suspense

This weeks Illustration Friday has been inspired by my recent creative project Fairy Post. I drew this and it also worked really well for the website so I’ve used it there too.

Pinky Waits

The Fairy Post has gone,

off to share a smile.

As Pinky get’s back to writing,

working through the pile.

In suspense she waits,

for her human to reply.

A lovely letter; “Human Post”,

from someone saying “Hi!”.

Fairy Post – Illustration Friday – FORWARD

FAIRY POST: I used to love receiving handwritten letters when I was younger. I read that some writers are trying to revive this and I’d like to join them. The feeling you get when you receive a letter, even as a child is amazing. If you have a child who you think would like to receive a letter from a fairy then email me at tracy.shave@mouldingfutures.co.uk with your address. If there is something your child is worrying about add that, or if they are having trouble with something add that too. Plus add some details that will make it unique to them (favourite soft toy, colour, etc) and I’ll create a handwritten tiny fairy letter which they recieve in the post with a fairy-made wand! They will also be able to reply. xx

This is my february creative challenge. I’d like to do one a day and send them out on Fairy Fridays so they get them Saturday.

Please donate to my Just Giving page to help raise money for Great Ormond Hospital by following http://www.justgiving.com/Tracy-Shave as a thank you. I drew this image for the new website but it also works well as this weeks illustration friday post FORWARD…

Illustration Friday : Prepare.

Please note – there are two sides to every story.

This weeks illustration friday theme is PREPARE. This is my contribution.

PREPARE

 

Nothing could prepare her,

For a feeling like this.

As she stood all puckered up,

Waiting for her kiss.

 

But boys, they can be fickle,

And Billy changed his mind.

Leaving Tammy all on her own,

Which wasn’t very kind.

 

For Billy there was nothing,

To prepare him for this,

Standing talking to a girl,

Then she puckered for a kiss.

 

He didn’t quite know what to do,

He didn’t have a plan,

So he did the thing that popped in first,

He turned around and RAN…. !!!

Comedy Showcase to Share a Smile!

Tonight is the night people! I got in touch with the new Comedy Club in Chelmsford, Comedy Showcase, and asked if they would help us put on a comedy show to raise money for charity and cheer people up as part of our Share a Smile campaign. Tonight it all comes together at Chelmsford’s Civic Theatre 7.45pm with a great line-up of comedians – Terry Alderton, who recently won Best Comedian 2011 by The Sun, Hal Cruttenden – who you may have seen on the Royal Variety Performance among other shows, Carl Donnelly and also Tom Wigglesworth who have both also been on the small screen.

We’re raising money for MIND and also the volunteer organisation I set up in 2009 – Moulding Futures for our Share A Smile campaign. The campaign was launched in 2010 to raise awareness of the importance and benefits of smiling at eachother, and at ourselves. Connecting with others is a very important part of maintaining a positive emotional health.

There are still a few tickets left so if you are free tonight and are after something to life your spirits come and share a smile with us. Book tickets by going to www.comedyshowcase.co.uk or by calling the Box Office 01245 606 505.
