For IllustrationFriday.com’s current theme, they joined up with a blog running a very smart and cool campaign to gather artwork and sell it on sketch cards for $10 each and then in turn donate that money to helping wildlife affected by the Gulf spill.
I know this piece doesn’t portray wildlife, but when I sat down to do the project all I could think about was that perspective of being underwater. Looking at video of the oil pumping, the water sort of rippled with the mixture of gasses streaming out with the oil.
Here’s a link to the ripple blog: http://ripplesketches.blogspot.com/
