Great illustration! I really like the contrast of the red with the neutral tones.
Great illustration! I really like the contrast of the red with the neutral tones.
this is fun, funny and a draconian version of sideways, haha! I just love your mind! Great work Michelle!
Hahahahahah! This is hilarious, Michelle. José and I have a great time enjoying ur illo :)
Urs is my favorite!
i have to agree! :-) the red accents really stand out.
and the long-suffering waitress looks like she's heard the same complaint before!

Really funny and clever! I also like how you've used the red sparingly to make it stand out. Nicely done.

Ha! Michelle, this is a beautiful use of color. I love those different shades and hues of gray.

Very cool illustration michelle . I love how you worked a frankenstein waiter in there. Nice wine red blood.
Thanks julie, diane, and mac!
Ahhh haaa... terrific!

It's just me or... Did u change the waitress for a waiter, Michelle? :O
Reminds me of "Love at First Bite" When Dracula & Renfield raid the Blood Bank. "Plastic disposable little bodies!"
Your work is so great...love the expressions and the red. Nice one!
Hi!
I love your style!
Any interest in joining me in a critique group? I live in the DC area, too and am trying to get into the Children's Book Illustration field.

HI Pati...hehee...yes...I figured frankenstein would be more appropriate compared to a waitress which I had before... :)

Hello Michelle.
The concept of this illustration is abundant wit and wonderful.
Good idea, and funny!

HAH! What fun!
hilarious! this is really sweet!
i love the b/w with a touch of red.
There's a line in the movie Sideways..."No #@$%&*^ Merlot!" Might I suggest a wonderful Central California Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands appellation?
Great idea, beautifully done, Michelle.

HAHAHAH omg this is priceless! And i adore the illo i love the contrast! Beautiful michelle!
Ha ha ha! This is brilliant. Great take on the theme : )

Hpartner seems to be enjoying the merlot and may also be hiding behind his glass, he looks a little embarrassed. Super expressions on each character, great piece to look at as well, so funny. I don't care much for merlot either. Cheers!
