Had a 75 minute conference call- had a bit of fun during it… this style is SO relaxing. CLICK IMAGE FOR DETAIL

Primitive 4

Trying to get back on the Illustration Friday habit, A few years ago, we stood and watched the Primates interact at the San Diego Wildlife park, it was fascinating. Their (the apes) social hierarchy was VERY apparent among our hirsute ancestors   - meanwhile, all around us other park-goers children where running and screaming out of control. And […]

Choose 4

This week’s Illustration Friday’s theme is ‘choose’. So I went with the classic ‘coffee OR tea’ scenario - tossed in a robot butler (because I don’t draw ENOUGH robots) and had some fun with a really limited palette, and some low contrast - I think it has an interesting feel.

PLAIN 1

Had a bit of fun with this week’s IF theme ‘plain’, answered the question where does the easter bunny actually get those fancy eggs. - this one is right from my sketchbook, pretty pleased overall, one of the few recent pieces started and completed entirely in vector.
Finally wrapped my head around illustrator envelope functions […]

Soar 11

IMHO Illustration Friday is the perfect way to start 2008, this weeks theme was ‘soar’ - so I put together a moody little image that showed what a little lateral thinking can do for you, even if you’re a bird.
I’m liking the limited palette, I need to do more of that.

Fish Lure 1

This is an image I created for my friend Barbara, it was used to flesh out a student calendar produced by an illustration class at The Philadelphia College of Art of which she’s the instructor. I’m pretty please with how this came out, I wanted to inject some asianesque flavor into it while maintaining […]

Trouble Comments Off

A simple piece I did for Illustration Friday, illustrating the word “trouble”, playing with a batik effect, and minimal detail.

Pirate Day Comments Off

A fun piratey piece for ‘Pirate Day!’ - illustrated very quickly (under 2 hours) using a bunch of scanned bits as photoshop brushes, a very cool way to generate lots and lots of texture.

Something Fishy Comments Off

This illustration has always been one of my favorite pieces, I think it’s a color thing, and this was one of the very first pieces that I rendered to this extent, looking back on it - maybe I should switch to decaf.

Robot Comments Off

The more I fiddle with this style, the more I like it, this little spot of an odd little droid was just a blast to do. Of course, last week I did something that really was very robotesque, so this week I had to come up with a robot a little less common. Considering my […]
