My Itsy-Bitsy Spider, version 2

Michele B. Naquaiya

spider0color-cat-th.

I am having so much fun with this itsy-bitsy spider, I designed a 2nd version.  This one has the equally funky cat with some odd colors and another point of view.  I am partial to the way he appears on devices and kids’ t-shirts.

Take a look here to see him on a product and with a dark background.

once again, here’s the nursery rhyme:

The itsy-bitsy spider
Went up the water spout.
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.
Out came the sun
And dried out all the rain.
And the itsy-bitsy spider
Went up the spout again.

Itsy Bitsy Spider and Cat

Babies and kids fall for it when you make a crawling motion with your fingers over their sweet little bodies.  They laugh and anywhere from 4 to 6 months will make you a hit.

The itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again

Then there is the never-to-grow up child like myself who still likes to play.  I am playing here with fonts and how they relate to the subject matter. This sweet font is Segoe Print.

Fantasy Mermaid Watercolor

Between serious painting, there is a layer of fantasy fun.  This is yet another old watercolor I have reworked and I am playing a little bit with text.  Enjoy the fantasy. Believe me, I think we can all use some of this.

Red Deer Illustration

This illustration with extra color and a few symbolic waves of grain is an older drawing that I have completely redrawn and repainted with watercolor pencils.  I love the flourishes and references to plant and animal life.  I have digitally removed the background so the image can be printed on different color textiles.  There is another red deer in this series which will appear soon.

Remodeled work station

remodel work station

I redid my work station with Mike’s help. I am very grateful. I am almost there. In any case, writing and drawing will be much easier now. I haven’t been able to use my Wacom Intuos 4 in a few years. Moving to Mexico will knock the wind out of you. I even am using the monitor I brought here from Washington in a suitcase, praying all the way that it would not break. Now at last my world is coming together.

In celebration, I wrote a little story and am breaking through to incorporating my drawings and stories together.
