This week at Illustration Friday the theme is "Save."
Maybe it's tax season, but I wasn't thinking about superheroes or baby kittens (okay, I was, but I always think about superheroes and baby kittens. Or the two combined: Super Baby Kitten!)
Instead the dim specter of my stern raised-in-the-Depression Grandma rose and admonished me about spending more than four dollars on temporary tattoos last week. *shiver*
I've always really liked cutting paper dolls and these are on green copy paper snitched from work. Some scissor work and some with a crappy little box cutter I keep in my desk. I think the little Lincolns turned out rather well. I especially like how his expression changes from coin to coin.
Normally, I would have scanned it and tidied it in Photoshop, I but I really liked it as a raw collage. Please view full for extra goofiness.

Great job.
wow...impressive!!
I think this is marvelous!
Lincoln does look a little worried at the end. :D
Those are fantastic! I can't even get snowflakes to turn out properly... let alone make it look like *something*.
Great job!!
This is wonderful. I always used to put too much detail in my snowflakes and then...gulp..they would break. I like Lincoln the best. It looks like a wood cut with the way you have photographed it.
the penny is very nice!
