MATS Week 2 - Home Decor Assignment

Make Art That Sells - Week 2

Home Decor Assignment: Design a plate using florals

Things got a bit out of hand this week, but I like the result. Who says a flower can't have a dinosaur and a high heeled shoe growing out of it! This is hand drawn, scanned into the computer, and manipulated with Photoshop and Illustrator. Hope you like it! Onto the children's book market in class next week.
