Being a journal of thoughts and experiences of the girl Kai Smart. Postings shall most likely make reference to Antarctica, tattooing, science fiction, jug bands, mix tapes, seahorses, Victorian consciousness, heraldry, rock, roll, and elves. Prone to melodrama and sass.
About Me
Name: Kai Smart
Location: Davis, California, United States
Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built,
Out of longing great wonders have been willed,
They're only little tears, darling,
let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window the world has gone to war
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
Here's what I did at first; the begining of a macabre tale about a cheeky jack-with-bow. I just can't help myself, though, and had to add ink and -my favorite- hatching. The result:
Hey...I haven't seen you around here in a while, or else I just missed you amongst the many submissions. This is by far the best jack in the box I've seen...it has your unique touch. I like the bottom one best - the line shading adds a strength to it that enhances the effect of the colors on the darker background. Excellent!
Very nicely done. If I had to choose-i'd say number 2 becuase I really love the stripes on the hat plus the text. You have done some really great work here. Cheers!
Thanks everyone! Jeez, I didn't expect so many responces...I guess the Illo-Friday folk have gotten stronger and more vigilant since I took my little hiatus. Thanks to carla for noticing my absence too, you are like the Illo-Friday guardian angel.

Very cool idea. I like the coloring a lot--really helps the make the image a bit frightening.
Very nice illustration.

Superb style!
Number two, with a bullet ... er, arrow. Nice work.
I love it! It'd be even more macabre if it were pointing at "me" (the viewer, LOL! Mary, IMAGIK :-)
I like the bottom one best too.
I love the second one with Surprise in it!
Beautifully rendered! I love the tone and the style. The bottom one is my favorite, too.
