I have seen Illustrator Friday mentioned around for awhile … and decided to check it out. This weeks challenge is “Grow.” This is my very first entry.

Life
It all starts with a seed
It expands outward
Life gets complex
There is beauty
There is difference
It is alive
Life is Us
We are Life

I like this as many of the shapes seem seed-like, yet the whole picture grows into something more vibrant, with the shapes of leaves and other complex organic patterns. The vivid colours express the vibrancy of life itself.

This is really neat. I like your writing as well as the image.

Diane, that’s very psychedelic!
sometimes I experiment with plugins to create images. Do you remember which software / plugin you used for this one?

I love the colors in this picture and also very much love your poem.

Hi Joan, psychedelic - I like that> Yes, I know what I used. It was created in Studio Artist and then tweaked some in Photoshop. I like plug0ins too.
Hi Bobbie, so glad you love the colors and poem!!
