Okay, you're a cab

One of the index card prompts for this week is "Taxi" and over at the Butterfly Effect, the theme is "street art".  Two great tastes that go great together.  How delightfully convenient!

Here's my index card of a flying taxi:

To make the body of the taxi I painted a bunch of different paper with various shades of yellow, and then snipped little tiny random squares from each page and collaged them together, cutting out the shape of the taxi when it was dry.

Then, since I've been hanging out in the Wild Precious sketchbook group, and Effie's challenge for this week is to make a coloring book style sketch, I drew and colored this little picture

Effie strongly encouraged us to use crayons, and I have the most pathetic, rag-tag bunch of crayons that are all half-melted from my hot-rock project over the summer, but I used them anyway.  But just in case the crayon version totally sucked, I scanned the drawing before I colored it so that I could play around with different supplies. That graffiti was totally fun; I want to make some more and use ink and paint and watercolor crayon.  I might make a whole coloring book of this picture.  Or maybe I'll just start using taxis in every project.

I've got cityscapes on my mind.

(Would somebody please call me a cab?)
