The Illustration Friday topic this week is - SPACE
Like most people I instantly think of outer space but there are several ways to look at this word:
space

the unlimited or incalculably great three-dimensional realm orexpanse in which all material objects are located and allevents occur.
2.
the portion or extent of this in a given instance; extent orroom in three dimensions: the space occupied by a body.
3.

4.
Fine Arts .
a.
the designed and structured surface of a picture: In Mondrian's later work he organized space in highly complex rhythms.
b.

5.
I choose to believe that my piece is based on the fourth definition. This is the front of a small Moleskine journal - My friend, Kim, has been waxing poetically about these notebooks for like forever. She keeps mumbling things: "great paper. . . writes like butter". Not sure if she means that writing on one is like writing ON a stick of butter or writing WITH a stick of butter but frankly I've never tried either. I'll let you know what I think once I've done something to the inside of this journal!
"Space is the breath of life." - Frank Lloyd Wright
The painting was inspired by Jenny Doh.

Love the pleasing colours and placement. :)
This is a really appealing design that, yes, defines space in a number of different ways all at once, including the space within for more works!
I love this quote and the colors are out of this world! ;)
Great idea and wonderful colors!
I immediately thought "the final frontier..." I am so happy to see your Moleskine! Those little notebooks are buttery and delicious, to write on that is! LOVE your cover! The colors, the circles, the dots, the quote- all so fab!
looks great! can't wait to see what you put inside!
