A time lapse drawing in honor of Dr. Seuss’ Birthday.  March 2, 2009, would have been Theodor Seuss Geisel’s 105th birthday.  He was more commonly known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss. He published over 60 children’s books. I had the opportunity to go to a traveling art show on Dr. Seuss in Memphis several years ago, and was overwhelmed to see his original drawings, sculptures, and paintings in person.  The show also featured his lesser known art from World War II, when he worked for the Army.  It was still the same familiar style, with a very unfamiliar message. His style is unmistakable, and he has certainly been a huge influence on my own artistic style.  Have a piece of cake and celebrate.  If you close your eyes and use your imagination, I’m sure that you will find the Cat n the Hat, Horton, and maybe even a few Lorax enjoying some cake with you.

I used the new Sharpie Writing Pen and a Moleskine watercolor journal.  Also don’t forget to enter for the Art Goodies Giveaway, ending Saturday March 14th.
