Higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung

All I want from tomorrow
Is to get it better than today

And all these angels and demons
Keep shouting and screaming
So love me like a rock star, dancing on a cop car
No one in the world can help me now
Nothing in the world can stop me now
I don't feel the same
I'm falling
Tell my friends I'm sorry

I'm not completely happy with this result, but I finally had to enforce my time limit "pencils down!" rule on myself.

This week's Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Zebra."

I went where my muse took me with this one, so the final result might seem a little unusual.

I'm also very nervous about a Winter Storm that's going to turn into an ice storm where I live. Depending on when the temperature plummets, there could also be a flash freeze. No matter what happens with the types of precipitation we get, the current forecast looks dire with regard to losing electricity with a Sunday into Monday overnight temperature of 4 F (-15.5 C).

This week’s Take a Word challenge was "Twosome/Pair/Duo."

I have two sets of pairs:  a pair of birds (2x), and a pair of theatre masks (2x). I also wanted this piece to illicit a feeling of ordered disorder. But I think the end result borders on a chaotic mess, instead.

Thank you if you leave a comment. I apologize if I don't reciprocate. Also, my artwork posts might be sporadic for awhile.

I created this for Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2016 - May challenge.

I mimicked Tim's steps to create my tag, but I made mine somewhat differently than his. I included the intermediate steps, to show how I made mine.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.16.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

Because my artwork is digital, and Tim Holtz's challenge is intended for people who buy his products, I don't usually post my tags on his site. So far this year I have been entering his challenge, but I receive few, if any, comments from all of the other artists who enter his challenge. So this will be the last time I post my link to his challenge. I will continue making tags for his challenge, but not post them on his site.

Updated note: I tried to post my entry on his site, but it was automatically deleted after appearing in the "inlinkz" initially.
