Illustration Friday – Chicken

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

Pretty cut and dry interpretation of this week’s theme…

Illustration Friday – Diary

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Spent a day or two contemplating this one, then remembered the end of Doogie Howser (sic). I love his episodic confession about his day of life lesson/s. This of course reminded me of this recent article about hospital robots. What’s better, some awkward kid stealing your gig, or a freaking ROBOT!

Illustration Friday – “Dip”

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Especially with ocean swimming, but generally when taking a “dip” , I tend to feel this way.

Enjoyed this 40 minute draw-ring while sipping coffee. It’s been a while since I’ve even tried to draw.

Illustration Friday – “Pioneer”

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

A truly wonderful and eccentric businessman and pioneer of the 1800′s, John Chapman, also known as Johnny Appleseed for his dream of bringing nurseries to all the other, really true pioneers moving westward.

Illustration Friday – “Skinny”

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

My experience with ArtRage is still in the rudimentary stages, so I thought I’d expand my horizons a little with this program. Using the painterly style inherent in the software, you can achieve some very rich textures. It’s a little strange translating my usual vector heavy style into an actual “traditional” medium, but pretty fun.

This took about the same time it would have in Illustrator, about 40 minutes and another 10 in Photoshop getting the color and contrast more to my liking.

All in all, a really cool, cheap program that I’ve barely put a dent in as far as capabilities. I made it for IF’s theme of “skinny”, but I’ve titled it “Still Life With Emaciated Man”.

Illustration Friday – “Frozen”

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

I have a love/hate relationship with ice cubes. I love the way they stick to the fingers when you dig into the icebox, but I hate tearing them off. This week’s theme for IF was “frozen” and I instantly thought of this little icebox oddity. This took about 30 minutes to get right in Adobe Illustrator.

Illustration Friday – “Flying”

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Quick little June Bug in October.

Illustration Friday – “Strong”

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Considering the diminutive size of the Easter Bunny, a year is about right to prepare…

Thought I’d actually do one on a Friday for once. Thematically, it’s a stretch, but I love drawing Bunnies, so I went for it.

Illustration Friday (Monday) – “Wrapped”

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Ha ha, gross. But appropriate. “Wrapped” sort of reminded me of the “gifts” our yard cat used to leave us…

This was another illustration for Illustration Friday that took about 1 hour 10 minutes. Click here to check out all the submissions for “Wrapped”. Great stuff.
