I can't think of a better way to end my latest 'sweeps month' (September, 2012) than with one more illustration by Lya Korda - who passed away one year ago this month...
Instead of the usual "Brow-Beat" cover art (she would render for the Broward County [FL] branch of MENSA), I have an original doodle of hers (that I'd picked up last December, during a memorial dinner [thrown in her memory] in Pompano Beach).
Whenever Lya attended weekly meetings of Scrabble Club 276, I would see her drawing owls and other animals (on scrap pieces of paper) between games. This particular drawing was rendered on a piece of stationery from a Walt Disney World resort in Orlando... and, appropriately enough, from the place that (according to Walt Disney) was "started by a mouse", Lya draws an anthropomorphic mouse of her own - sitting atop a tree stump, playing a tiny horn. (I never knew if this image appeared in any publication; If it hasn't, then you are all seeing this for the very first time!)
Unlike her other drawings - which begin in pencil, and are finally inked - this mouse doodle was done entirely in blue ballpoint pen ink! Quite an accomplishment, eh?!
If you like what you see, visit my "FA" gallery and check out the other art pieces done by Lya Korda. Meanwhile, I hope to display more of her work during the next 'sweeps month' in my site (November, 2012).
