Loverboy has been begging me to make something artistic for our new apartment for months now. After much consideration I finally decided the other day what to create... I can't show it to you guys as it is not done yet.

I thought it would be fun and interesting for you to watch the progress of my work during a (hopefully!) daily update.

I'm going to make two illustrations for our livingroom; one of me and one of Loverboy standing in front of an anonymous city. The keywords for these creations will be simplicity and elegance.
I'd also like the illustrations to have a 1950 feel to them so I'm going to have to do some research for the clothes we'll be wearing

I'm currently working on the one with me in it and this is what it looks like so far:

Misz · 01-12-2006, 05:57 AM

Looks really nice but strangly familiar with something, is it the same sort of city layout for the intro of the show fraiser?

Nancy · 01-12-2006, 08:12 AM

^^ Kind of yes - however I wasn't inspired by the Frasier show. I was inspired by one of my all-time favourite artists Al Hirschfeld.

Fly · 01-12-2006, 08:35 AM

bring it on girlie.

Nancy · 01-13-2006, 07:02 AM

Added a few more buildings and a sky. I don't want the background to be too detailed but still it seems to be missing something. Maybe... I should add some trees?

cj2112 · 01-13-2006, 07:11 AM

perhaps a clock where you have the circular window in the buildding on the left?

Nancy · 01-13-2006, 07:21 AM

^^ Hmm... that's not a bad idea. Give me a sec and I'll show you how it looks.. !

Nancy · 01-13-2006, 07:28 AM

I think the background part looks perfect now - thanks so much for the suggestion, cj!

Charlatan · 01-13-2006, 08:04 AM

All it needs is King Kong climbing one of the taller buildings... OK maybe not.

Sweetpea · 01-13-2006, 08:22 PM

well, that's very neat!

keep us updated on the progress!

and of course i want to see it hanging on your wall (with sexy you next to it) when it's done!

sweetpea

doodlebird · 01-17-2006, 12:16 PM

that's pretty sweet nancy.
you've certainly got a 50s look goin on.
can't wait to see what you do with you & your man.

cj2112 · 01-17-2006, 06:05 PM

yw Nancy

btw this looks incredible so far you have some serious talent!

Nancy · 01-18-2006, 02:19 AM

Now that the background part is done, I've started working on my alter ego. This is what I look like so far:

Nancy · 01-18-2006, 02:20 AM

Thanks all

Charlatan: That's so not gonna happen

Sweetpea: You got it!

troit · 01-18-2006, 08:58 AM

very nice - keep us updated!

Charlatan · 01-19-2006, 01:42 PM

OK... no King Kong...

I think it would be cool if you had a little flying saucer in the sky. Doesn't have to be big, but it would add something cool to the piece (it would totally work with the modern 50s look you have going on).

Nancy · 01-20-2006, 12:40 AM

^^

No I will not add a flying saucer to the background on the final print hehe..though the idea is funny I don't want to add anything to my work that seems out of place. But, because I like you so much, I'm going to add the damn saucer when this piece is done so you can see what it looks like ok?

Nancy · 01-22-2006, 10:15 AM

I know it doesn't seem like it but I've made quite a few changes .. a lot of the lines needed to be perfected. The errors are not visible at this size but they'll look terrible in an A0 size

Daniel_ · 01-22-2006, 10:18 AM

Very pretty.

Lewis · 01-26-2006, 09:55 PM

I preferred the bottom by the railroad track, but this is nice.

Hi Nancy! Nice mural. Don't fiddle with it and destroy it with complications. The original energy works!

joemc91 · 01-26-2006, 10:07 PM

I think it is a wonderful drawing. I love the shades of blue and I've always been a fan of the stencil like drawings. Will you be painting this afterwards or printing it?

trickyy · 01-26-2006, 11:48 PM

i'd really like to visit that city

al hirschfeld huh...do you do caricatures as well?

Thank you!

I'll be printing it in an A0 size I think. It would be really cool to paint it directly on my wall but I've promised myself not to get involved in such a big project until I've bought a house

Heh, anything for you, Charlatan.

Nancy · 01-29-2006, 04:36 AM

I've finally found some time to work on my illustration again. I think it's somewhat perfect the way it is - except for the missing eyes/nose of course, so that's what I'm working on right now. Since you can't see the details of the eye in the other picture here's a close-up:

Fly · 01-29-2006, 07:00 AM

lookin' good girl...........'cept i noticed your alter egos breasts are a little smaller than the real deal...........

but hey......that's alright..........you know i'm an ass man anyways.

cellophanedeity · 01-29-2006, 09:22 PM

You're amazingly talented Nancy!

beautiful work.

Almost done as you can see. But I'm having unforseen trouble with the last eye. Typical

Krycheck · 02-13-2006, 11:07 AM

Great work Nancy!!! I really dig the style.

Sweetpea · 02-13-2006, 11:36 PM
