Illustration Friday: Urban

An old Blown Covers submission (for Easter) that seemed to fit with this week's IF topic (Urban). Hope you'll pardon the fact that I'm recycling older material, but it's in keeping with a fun project I've been involved with lately for Earth Day. See more at EarthDayCarol.org or look for the FREE Earth Day Carol app on any of the various app stores. Please feel free to share the links or app information with anyone who might be interested in finding some fun and educational Earth Day resources. Thanks for stopping by!

2 for 1: Illustration Friday (Puzzled) and Blown Covers Submission (Love in the Big City)

The kid's expression seemed "puzzled" enough for me to use this as a good excuse to post to Illustration Friday this week. The image was originally created as a submission for this week's Blown Covers theme: "Love in the Big City". I titled this piece "Questionable Taste".
It's not that I'm against Public Displays of Affection ... but now that I have a kid of my own, I'd appreciate it if couples could keep their PDA's in the PG category ... at least until after I've had "the talk" with my boy in five or six years.

Illustration Friday: Yield (or Failure to Yield)

One from the archives that seemed appropriate for this week's theme. Many a time I've fantasized about having a sign like this at hand when other drivers fail to yield ... a common occurrence here in Phoenix.

Illustration Friday: Popularity

Sadly, I'm old enough to remember when Pac-Man was all the rage ... back in the day when you actually had to go to an arcade with a pocket full of quarters to play. In any case, watching my son beat me at Angry Birds got me thinking that this might be a fun illustration for this week's IF topic. It was also a good excuse to put ArtRage to the test ... with a few finishing touches courtesy of Photoshop and Illustrator.

Illustration Friday: Suspense

A piece I did for an illustration workshop that I attended several months ago - seemed appropriate for this week's IF theme. We were supposed to attempt to mimic the style of another illustrator that we admired ... not sure if I got it right, but it was an interesting exercise.
