Illustration Friday - ESCAPE

No time for something new, too much work, but I thought this addition to an old illustration might strike home.

This is a place where I regularly post personal artwork, good, bad or indifferent.
The characters that crop up regularly in this blog are husband – Robin, eldest teenager and only daughter – Flo, next teenager and eldest son – Tom, teenager second son – Hugo, five year old third son – Xavier, and red Staffordshire Bull Terrier – Rufus.
I'll try to reply wherever you comment but if I don't it's only because I'm overwhelmed with running a family and earning a living.
My two eldest have started a business venture selling artwork (mainly my paintings) to raise money for university. Please visit their site, Oakley Gallery to see what they are selling now.
If you want to buy prints of anything you see here or have any requests please send an email to flo at oakleygallery dot com

Perfect.

SO fun. So apt. Love it!
Perfect! The muted, simple color palette really accentuates the monotony of the cubed work environment...it's good to see that one person has made her escape! I know I ponder my IF ideas all day on Friday while I'm supposed to be concentrating on work. Good one :>
Oh Yes - I'm sitting at my little cubicle looking at your illustration. IF really has become an escape for me. Nice work.
It's lovely to hear from you all. I'm burning the midnight oil with some major work projects, with very tight deadlines, but I was quite pleased that I could participate this week by spending 5 minutes tweaking this old picture. I haven't had a chance to look at all the entries yet (it's my treat that I'm only allowed to indulge in only after I've uploaded my own entry) but make sure you all look at toni kelly's entry - http://kellyinkstudio.blogspot.com/ - it's amazing!
That is a MAZE ing!!! (get it?) Actually, I used to work in a place like that. I would always be turning into someone else's cube by mistake.
You did a wonderfu job as always!!!
This is great, and something I might think of doing but never would, my job is just too important to me!
Here's a different perspective: I actually "miss" my cubicle, having lost mine in May. But, I sure do "get" the "escape" concept with this illustration. Anyway...your comments are very much appreciated!
