Illustration Friday: Instinct

Hey, Hey, Hey-

Another glorious Illustration Friday Subject and with the addition of a four legged friend to our family comes this illustration. It is all he can do to fight his natural, "instinct(s)" and not chew on objects left on the floor, so he barks and growls madly at them. I gotta keep drawing!

Illustration Friday: Celebrate

Sometimes there aren't too many folks to celebrate with, but sometimes that's okay.

Illustration Friday: Time

This is a piece I did a little while ago that I thought fit pretty well into this weeks theme.

Illustration Friday: Similar

Whenever I have ever heard either of these men speak I have been inspired. Similar are their messages of hope and of equality and both make me want to be a better person.

Movie: The Reader

I saw the preview for this movie on Apple Movie Trailers and immediately came up with this idea. I have to say I was a little sick to my stomach and nervous creating the swastika in Illustrator for the image. Even though I understand this symbol predates Nazi Germany by thousands of years I still felt like I was somehow giving credence to those deadly beliefs, crazy I know. After hiding the file in a folder, within a folder, within a folder, using brighter and more interesting colors, I tried my best to redirect the viewers attention to the figures in the foreground. And from what I can glean from the preview these figures are the focus of the film. The movie stars Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes and is based on a best selling novel, it looks depressing but good. Enjoy the picture for what its worth.

Illustration Friday: Pretend

I'm not a kid anymore but I still love to "pretend" I am a martial arts expert, kicking ninja butt in the middle of a Japanese block print. So I drew it!!

Illustration Friday: Wise

Everybody was running with the "wise-owl" thing, so I decided to go along with a bit of a twist. Meet my "Wise-Guy-Owl. (heh-heh)
