Hi everyone- I haven’t been able to do a new Illo Friday piece in a while…work is crazy these days, just in time for the holidays! There always seems to be an abundance of deadlines at this time of year. Anyhow- I did this piece last year for a Scott Foresman reader called “Popple Popcorn.” Here, Pete’s mom is helping him make special popcorn with his own melange of spices. This is not unlike what goes on at my house- I like to experiment with recipes, and I encourage my girls to, also. They always come up with great ideas- and there is always a giant mess afterwards! Ah, well…messes can be cleaned eventually (and I do mean, eventually!)

I remember helping my grandma during the holidays and makiing cookies. I always got to lick the spoon. I love the popcorn popping machine, it has been years since I have seen one of those. Very cute picture.
hi, Liz, I really liked your illo, but specially your blog’s design! it’s great!
Hi Liz – your work is so fun, stylized, and heart-warming.
I used to work in the Art Dept. for S. Foresman when I first started out back in the early 80’s and saw TONS of portfolios coming thru. Your work captures the look and spirit of that classic SF charm.
Looking forward to more.
Best Success!

Wonderful. I love the pattern wallpaper and fabric of mom’s shirt. I like the combo of shaded color, flat color and (scanned?) pattern in your header illustration too!
such a lovely and warm illustration!
Beautiful! I love this little boy and the way his mummy looks at him 🙂
I just love this piece! I love the tongue especially. You always do such fun patterns!
Great illustration! I like the look of your characters.
Awww, very sweet! Great work, too.
Liz, you are a braver mom than I. My son Mike experiments in ways you cannot imagine, and I live n fear of the wild messes he creates!
Cute piece, this illustration!
Fun catching up with you, love your kitty but not what she is doing to you FFF!
