Illustration Friday is a weekly online challenge for illustrators of all levels to exercise their minds and show off their work. A topic to illustrate is posted on the IF site each Friday, then artists have one week to submit their interpretation.

About two years ago, a small, harmless hole was found in my heart which inspired me to carry the theme a little further, as you can see:

Absolute perfection...body & soul! thanks for sharing your illustrated thoughts and dreams. I love the way your work flows.
