Illustration Friday: Pretend

Dreaming ... hoping ... pretending ... about autumn in the winter.

Illustration Friday: Vacant

Vacant stare into a vacant city; ever feel like this sometimes?

Illustration Friday: "Memories"

Illustration Friday: "Electricity"

"My lightning powers will ensure that the electronic voting machines are on the fritz! You're not in Kansas, anymore!"

"Color of Music"

This is the simple but powerful work of Kieth Island. He's all over the Web, but I can't seem to get his official site. I will feature it when it's back up.

"Droids": A short Sci-Fi Strip

Illustration Friday: "Heavy"

(I decided to stick with the comic book vibe this week. Hope you like it.)
A Mac Truck is not only not heavy, but it's really a small thing ... to a giant.

Illustration Friday: "Garden"

This is my Eve, from the Garden of Eden, seconds after her creation, but instead of a garden, she's ... in a Bayou. Yep, Eve's Bayou.

Illustration Friday: "Leap"

This is from a web comic I started, but haven't finished. I thought it fit "Leap" since it's a depiction of two heroes in combat smashing through a skyscraper window over a city street. I tried to depict one split second of an action-packed scene. Leaping to oblivion? Stay tuned.

Coffee Sketches II

Coffee Sketches

Illustration Friday: "Multiple"

This is actually a part of a large mosaic club scene I've done. It's kind of an animation-style scener that emphasizes that "Multiple Drinks Are Better Than One." Whew! Are these IFs getting harder and harder or what?

"Theory" for Illustration Friday:

They say if you can't see something, then how can you believe it exists? By this rationale, is the cool, spring breeze, the one that races up against your skin, flinging your skirt, just ... a theory?
Some Theory (Illustration Friday).

Illustration Friday: "Blanket"

Home alone in a Jungle-grown world.
But not lonely.
She takes solace.
But her shoes have no soles.
The black velvet dress fits, but it has no back.
No guardian ... but, there is comfort. In. The leopard-print blanket.

The Soul On Paper Suite: Vol 1.

Illustration Friday: "Tales and Legends"

As a child, we'ren't you scared of "Tales and Legends"? This is from my recent novel art. Prismacolor mixed with photo of woods (Photoshopped). This is for "Illustration Friday." I wanted to make it like a movie poster, that's why the extra black space at the bottom (UPDATED AT BOTTOM). I think I'll add some words like a real movie poster. But as I think about it, Illustration Friday specifically asks that we not put words in the art. Hmmmm. Decisions, decisions. Enjoy.
