illustration - miss poos-I used up the last of my season tickets to the opera last weekend. I saw “Der Rosenkavalier” by Strauss. Lots of rich costuming. Lots of waltzing. It was really terrific, even though the entire opera clocked in at four hours!

Anyway, on the train ride home, I sketched this whimsical little number. Not that there’s any costumed cats in the show, of course. Although it would be fun to try my hand at drawing something from Janácek’s opera “The Cunning Little Vixen”. - Aardema, John

Next four illustrations from John Aardema:
illustrator - portfolio - Aardema, John - faery kin-One day I decided to create a journal containing only images of faeries. I picked up a blank book from Barnes & Noble and drew enough images for each spread. Currently the book sits on my shelf unfinished, with little faerie sketches scattered between the leaves.
This image was one of the most interesting—showing faery children on a great rural plain with their critters—so I finished it as a stand-alone illustration outside the confines of the faerie book.
illustrator - portfolio - Aardema, John - moonstruck pierrot-Poor Pierrot! How sweetly he sings to the image of his love when the moon sends him into amorous lunacy.
