The Lyra constellation is bordered by the much larger constellation Cygnus, the swan. Lyra's main star, Vega, sits on a corner of the Summer Triangle. It is one of the brightest stars in the sky. A number of exoplanets (planets outside the solar system) have been discovered in Lyra. Lyra has often been depicted on star maps as a vulture carrying a lyre in its wings or beak. It is called Vultur Cadens (falling vulture).</div>

If you're like me, you may feel some days as though your head is going to bust open from too many thoughts, ideas, images and the like. Or, maybe you can't get a favorite tune out of your head; it just keeps playing over and over again in your mind. I had a lot of fun making this "journal" collage. I think I captured the idea behind a "racing mind."</div>

Heckle and Jeckle were a couple of magpie cartoon characters created in the late 1940s by Paul Terry. I drew this marker rendering a while back in time. This one in particular could be Heckle or it could be Jeckle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just like either Heckle or Jeckle, all artists must rise to their imagination and flights of fantasy to create such characters. We must <i>return</i> to the reality of the real world every now and again. What a shame. I guess for some artists, it's hard to return; after all, we have to reach for the unseen and untouched and it's a tough journey back.</div>

This week's theme is a difficult one. When I think of "return," I think of returning home or going back in time. I remember one such time growing up as a child in England during the 1960s. I'd walk down to the small village newsstand (it was safe enough to do so back then) and buy two or three of my favorite comic books. And yes, it was usually cold, rainy and wet. But I didn't mind, I was a kid. I'd come back home and sit with my grandmother by the old furnace fire, have "tea" and a strawberry tart, read to my heart's content and marvel at the colorful and fun books! Such delight! I still like the old cartoon characters of yesteryear and a return to old memories. And, I still love to read comic books! But don't tell anyone as they'll probably say I'm "too old" for that stuff. Never!</div>

"Flower of the Swamp" is my version of "Lily of the Valley." Living in Florida now for many, many years, I can say that I know a little something about swamps. Although there are alligators and snakes swimming in swamps, there are also pretty and unusual flowers and plants that grow around them. Beautiful and graceful egrets, herons and wood storks wade in swamps as well as hundreds of dragonflies that hover over them. And, hawks, vultures and birds of prey such as owls frequent the swamps for a "meal."</div>

I must admit that my aliens turned out a little creepy looking to say the least, a bit like Edvard Munch's "The Scream." The aliens are from a pencil sketch colored in with markers. But, Photoshop filters added a more sinister look to the ETs!</div>

I think the vulture has gotten a bad wrap, however, even though it eats dead meat. </span></span></span></div>

Hundreds of turkey vultures made this site their home. They perched on the rooftops of the few buildings that were available, on trees and near big power lines. Hundreds sat quietly, pruning and standing around, waiting and resting. It was a sight to see really, all those big birds with red heads. They wobbled across the roof tops with their big claw legs and occasionally, they'd take off in flight.</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">There are many tales and accounts of fire-breathing dragons all over the world. But in Florida where I live, there's an urban legend of a fire-breathing alligator. This Super Gator is reportedly 50 feet long! Can you believe it? Obviously, such a creature would be a man-eater (or woman-eater for that matter). If anyone has seen one, please let me know. I'd be very interested your hearing the story.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The most time-consuming and intricate part of making this collage was cutting out all those teeth! Each one is cut from a vintage paper lamp shade that had faded over the years.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The spotted black and white stray cat scurried up the stairs to the second story flat. It stood on tall, lanky legs that supported a boney frame. Its face was scruffy and one eye blinked smaller than the other. By the outside door, two large potted plants hid water and food. It bowed down by the pretty yellow bowl with painted fish and crunched away hungrily at the dry meal.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">In a perfect world, all the stray neighborhood cats would have homes to live in when it's cold and raining and plenty of food to eat and water to drink.</span><br />

</span><br />
This is an original pencil drawing, which is "colored" with collaged tissue and hand-painted papers. The cats are cut from original pencil sketches and collaged with various papers.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I decided to create a literal interpretation for this week's Illustration Friday theme. This collage is from one of my original botanical sketches. All those petals, leaves and stems are individually cut from snippets of hand painted paper. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">But of course we have perennials in Florida; likewise, this one is subtropical with its bright pinks and reds. We also have a lot of bugs, snakes, lizards, alligators, tropical birds, armadillos and much more wildlife that makes this state special in its own regard.</span><br />

She would not be deterred, however, as she marched out the front door to meet nature's fury. Her hair braided and suit buttoned up, she <i>swept</i> up her little black purse to meet the day head on, inclement weather or not.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This little birdie is a canary, which I have always wanted to have as a pet. But with cats, that's out of the question. When I was around 11 or 12 years of age, an English neighbor across the street had a beautiful canary and a large aviary filled with many finches. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We used to visit her and chat for a while over some tea. She loved her birds and took great care with them! That little canary used to sing up a storm. This little guy reminds me of just that same one along with my favorite soda, ginger ale.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">I was inspired by John Waters for this week's post for Illustration Friday.

John Waters is the American filmmaker of </span><i style="line-height: 18px;">Hairspray</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"> and </span><i style="line-height: 18px;">Pink Flamingos </i><span style="line-height: 18px;">among others</span><i style="line-height: 18px;">. </i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">He is also a journalist, photographer and visual artist. </span></span></div>

If cats had wings, I think they would fly to heaven and sit on the moon.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
Sometimes I think my cats think they can actually fly. Maybe that's why they like birds so much. Have you ever seen a cat jump and fly on trees only to get stuck. They seem to love high places for some reason. When they get in a wild mood, they run and leap with no thought of the ground. Then they get in all sorts of trouble getting stuck atop something, whether it be a shelf or on top of a roof!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If I must deal with dust, let it be star dust where I can dream of growing wings and sitting on the moon!</div>
