Illustration Friday: Hierarchy

Long-haired Rapunzel is trapped in her tower while the prince below contemplates how best to save her. The Grimm version of the tale reflects the simplicity of the hierarchy between rescuer and rescued.

Ailbhe

Ailbhe, in Gaelic, means “white” or “brightness”. In my mind, it’s the perfect name for a girl who didn’t make it to 100% opacity in Photoshop. I combined an old painting and a Moleskine pencil and Copic marker sketch. The illustration was placed underneath the glass of a vintage optical lens from an optometrist’s trial lens set, circa early 1900’s. The back is protected by a durable glass-like resin to create a hard lustrous finish.

Lee Munroe has compiled a list of “25 Hot Female Web Designers Part 2”. I am honored to be included on a list with so many talented ladies. I’ve been designing and re-designing the Sully site since 2003, so it’s incredibly amazing to be recognized for my latest iteration that has lasted longer than all the rest.

Now, how can I use this “hot” title to my advantage? Thanks Lee!
