Vroom Vroom (Illustration Friday week 2, Blur!)


Do you remember that feeling of sitting in a box, when you were little, only five or so, and feeling like you were going so fast that you were just a blur?

This is one of my characters, originally based off of Red Riding Hood, who finds an old red Motorbike helmet, and thinks that riding in a box with it would be the coolest thing in the world... This is before she builds herself a functioning box car racer (At seven). Here, she's five and is speeding off into the wild blue yonder in her head. : )

  11. A lil daredevil...I love your character and the combined seriousness of her purpose and whimsy of her contraption (and the colorful smoke...whimsical exhaust?!). I am so happy you are taking this weekly challenge, and I can't wait to see what's next! I am a fan of your art, too!!!
