Koosje Koene - Inspiration Station





Koosje Koene is an illustrator who works out of Amsterdam in Holland and has written a post about The Pen mover, aka me and my work here. She wrote some nice things about me and deserves a mention or two about her. Please have a look at her site..she is an artist of many talents and uses different media and methods each week to share her experiences with others on her blog, aptly named Koosje Koene Illustrations. She also runs an on line drawing course which can be accessed from  her blog....its called Just draw It! Thanks Koosje...you are a great inspiration yourself!

                                             "I see music as fluid architecture" Joni Mitchell

Edit: I thought I remembered the Illustration Friday word correctly, I even wrote it down correctly I thought...'Fluid', I wrote on my notepad. So of course I made my drawing sort of fit. The problem was that after posting this as 'IF Fluid'...I had noticed on the IF site that the word was actually Liquid....Maybe it fits better now....no...no it doesn't. OK so who cares? I don't. Its a bald guitarist with a long cable where the electric signals flow down towards the amplifier like liquid......OK?? OK NOW????
