This week's Illustration Friday theme is "Twist". This is my take on the topic.
Twisted Balloon.
Pesky Powerline.
What a bummer.
This is just a quick watercolor illustration -- watercolor inks on Fabriano Watercolor paper, with a quick black ink outline for detail.
Very good idea! Simply and nicely done!

I want one as an atc! lol My sister in law was in town for Father's Day and she'd purchased a mylar balloon for her dad and put it in the trunk of her car.
We both had our hands full and she popped the trunk and out the balloon came and gone forever!
I bet it was funny, the look on our faces!

I love it. What a great take on the theme. Everyone can relate to that. It may seem simple but I think it says so much.

How sad really that this is ultimately the demise of most balloons. I guess most are lucky if they make it past the power lines and into the free and clear, into the heavens. Cute illustration. Very simple and yet it makes it's point.

The coloring on this card is just amazing -- love all the shading on the balloon and the slight outline of blue sky. It's perfect!
