I.F. | Mesmerizing

Just a couple of sketches of things that made me think of this week's Illustration Friday theme "mesmerizing."

1) Watching the local news, I noticed one of the news ladies was wearing shiny, hypnotizing earrings.

2) This represents several bits from the ponponpon video. I like how her bloomers have Takashi Murakami eyes.

One day I might add color to this one.

Here's my entry on deviantart.com for a little contest. Click to see the full image.

edit: Adding the full image here. They provided a template with the shape and logo, and the contest was to fill the cup with things that make us happy. Didn't win anything, but it was a great challenge. I learned some things about Illustrator, too!
