Illustration Friday: Contained

Here we have my entry for Illustration Friday this week, the topic naturally being "Contained".

I thought long and hard over what image to do this week as the word 'contained' brings to mind so many images. For a while I could not decide which idea to do. Originally my plan idea was to do something with a jack-in-the-box as this seemed to illustrate the theme quite nicely - but I wasn't convinced. Then my talented friend Kris-Tea released her illustration, which contained a cartoon of me... well, to repay the gesture I resolved to create an image containing her. The result is the above picture. On one of her trips to get a nice vanilla milkshake, she may find she has another use for the glass...

Nice illo, I had this idea, but not as detailed as yours.

I've done that before. Let them go because I don't want to kill them. So they probably come right back in. Great illustration.

It's totally ME! :) ..my vanilla milkshakes haha great idea! I think it's similar to other part of "James and the giant peach" when he meets to the spider in his room..isn't?
Fantastic illo and thanks for the nice gesture!
