This is the first time I've ever participated in Illustration Friday. This week the word was "Resolutions" and this is my submission-
It's a combination of a drawing and a photograph and since I'm new to Photoshop, please don't judge me too harshly!
As for the list of "resolutions," it's a fake as anyone who knows me could attest. I don't drink, I don't exercise and I would never give up donuts.
Here is my real list:
-Go on more dates with my husband
-Continue to do lots of art and writing without always stopping to ask myself "Why the hell am I doing this?"
-Find the perfect pair of red ballet flats
-Spend more time with my kids without simultaneously making lists in the back of my mind about what I need to do that day
-Be more experimental with how I cook vegetables
I think that should do it.
What I've been reading:
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (amaaaazing!)
Life by Keith Richards
Just Kids by Patti Smith
The Bolter by Frances Osborne
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Steig Larsson
Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
Love the blue necklace yet the other necklaces also look awesome!

I think you have a great list of real resolutions. I am also in the camp of "more dates with husband," "spending time with the kids without thinking of the to do list" and "getting more creative with the veggies." And well, since you are in cooking school now, I am hoping you can post some ideas of interesting veggie dishes.
And I love you illustration. I am curious how it is a combination with a photograph?
Happy New Year!
