Looking Back

I was recently compelled to look back through my blog and see how far I have come. Here is a complex vector illustration that was the first piece of my own art I posted. Back in the day, I used to do a lot of realistic vector conversions but I am glad I have moved on from this style. While I feel this is a good illustration I don't feel it has nearly as much life as my more recent work. Keep in mind this is one of my better pieces from 5 years ago; if you saw my other work you would truly recognize how far I come.

Smoke Stacks

Here is an update on an older design. I added texture and entwined money symbols of the world into the smoke. Click on the image, right click, view image, to see the detail better.

Discussargumentor

Here is another Literyacyhead design I am working on. The idea is that this is a Venn Diagram of a discussion and an argument. The kids would put characteristics of discussions in the soft guys head, argument characteristic in the strong / block head, and characteristics of both in the body. This was a fun drawing project and I think it is one of the coolest Venn Diagrams I have ever seen. Instructions will be added later.

Another Knit Design

Thought I would do one more since I had a little time. Now I need to get back to the exoskeleton whale art and actual work. Thanks for looking.

A Companion to Carry Around

Threadless is having competition were you can design knit products. I liked the idea of designing a scarf and thought about objects that wrap-around things. I came up with the idea of a snake which I felt was a little ironic considering snakes would not survive in the cold weather a scarf requires. Maybe the snake needs the scarf wearer to keep warm more than vice-versa. Carry your companion in cold weather.

New Project Preview

You may ask, "What is that?" It is a Wright Whale in a robotic exoskeleton wearing a squid as a hat. This a preview of an illustration I doing to hopefully add to my illustration portfolio. Below is the original sketch which is pretty close to the composition I want to create. The drawing (above) is just the whale on the right. I still need to draw the other two whales, the background, the giraffe golf clubs, the pangolin balls, and then color the whole thing. This illustration is pretty complex, so it may be awhile before it is complete.
