Illustration Friday: Smoke

A quickie this week... Robots rock!

Black & Orange Contest Entry

Here's my entry for the Penelope Dullaghan's Black & Orange contest. Happy Halloween guys!

Illustration Friday: Phobia

I had so many ideas for this week, I decided to combine several into one piece. Actually, I had enough do to do a second piece - there was snakes, the dark, dentists, etc etc etc lol.

Illustration Friday: Change

A random goblin shows off his change.. (and some spare pocket lint too)!

Illustration Friday: Farm

Illustration Friday: Safe

It's clobberin' time! The concept here is that the bully is about to pound the small kid, while having no idea that he's about to be pummeled by the kid's imaginary friend (thus making the kid SAFE).

Illustration Friday: Run

Illustration Friday: Match

Illustration Friday: Play

Illustration Friday: Capture

Illustration Friday: Clean

One day when I was in second grade, we had recess after a hard rain. As you can imagine, there were lots of mud puddles. As you can also probably imagine, many kids disregarded specific instructions NOT to play in them and got in deep trouble. It was not a pretty sight.

I hadn't thought about that day in years, but that was the first image that popped into my mind after finding out the topic for this week - seeing lots of kids waiting to go into the principal's office to tell their side of the story.

P.S. My son is the one all the way on the right. Enjoy!

Illustration Friday: Opposites

File This Under "Late"...

..as in "Real Late". This originally was going to be my entry for Illustration Friday: Sticky, but I ran out of time. Finally got a chance to finish it, so I figured that I would post it. :)

Illustration Friday: Sacrifice

Wow what a tough topic... although I enjoy a challenge. Inspired by the times my son snatches some of my meal when he's eaten all of his and still hungry. :) Yummy worm...

Illustration Friday: Skyline

My first entry to Illustration Friday! And I'm running late posting it.. go figure. Anyway, I really wanted to add more detail to the grass and buildings, but I ran out of time. I use this style from time to time, but I had so much fun with it that I think I may use it more often.

Welcome to my blog!

I thought that I would open with a piece that I did about a week ago. It was my first attempt at using Liquid Ink in Painter, although I colored it in Photoshop. I was fairly pleased with the results.
