The Hills, The Wedding (I Paparazzi-ed the Paparazzi!)

On my way to the post office on Saturday afternoon, I noticed more people than usual gathered down the road, in front of a church, in fact, quite a lot of people, with massive cameras, some I'm sure were the same used to take photos of the moon; and a lot of movie cameras, police and all.
I'm kind of use to this as it's very common in L.A, you can't buy your bread without talking about the weather with Brad Pitt (kind of...). This time, I decided to stop as it was a very good opportunity to study the paparazzi, they are a very interesting thing to watch.
(the shooting in question was a MTV show called "The Hills", which, from what I've heard, is boring, but not to the paparazzi apparently)
(I borrowed this post title from Petrea's comment, thank you:)

Power Failure.

No power last night when I came home, so went to the park and enjoyed watching the kids playing baseball.

Winnie The Pooh Baby Nursery.

I've been asked last September, to create 2 Winnie the Pooh illustrations for Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz baby nursery walls.

I really wanted to keep the charm of the original late 60's/early 70's Winnie the Pooh featurettes, as I always do at work when I draw them, and get this kind of animation cel on a background feel to it. Storytelling was crucial too, I didn't want to just slap some big characters on their walls like stickers.
The first wall below is the one overlooking the baby crib, so I chose to make it an indoor scene. I drew Winnie and Piglet reading a story just right where the crib was meant to be. Eeyore's tail was removable, and Winnie, Piglet and Eeyore were printed on a board and cut out, as well as Tigger and Roo below.


The second one was a wall next to big windows and trees outside, so I designed an outdoor scene, using some colors from the garden to get a sense of space and continuity.
The chalkboard in the middle was made out of real chalkboard material, so their son can draw on it.
