Precious

I haven't seen this Precious movie, nor do I know anything about it, really. But I saw this poster for it and it intrigued me. I painted this the opposite way I normally do - from black to white rather than white to black. Unsuccessful! But it was fun in that annoying, challenging way. And that's my story.

Tony Dekker / Illustration Friday

This is Tony Dekker, from the tremendous Great Lake Swimmers.

They have a song called "I Saw You In The Wild", which came to mind when reading this week's Illustration Friday topic of "Wilderness".

Self-Portrait

Hey Friends, how's it goin'...

So artistswanted.com started this contest for artists from anywhere to submit a self-portrait of themselves in any type of medium they wanted. Even tattoo art, which is pretty stellar of them. The selling feature for me to enter was the fact that the exquisitely awesome Steve Buscemi is one of the judges.

So these are my submissions. If you win, you get to choose between a prize of $7007 or 6months free living in New York (i totally chose the NY option). Also the portfolio with the highest rating can win $1000. So if anyone out there who happens to be reading this right now feels like voting for me, you can click here and scroll down to the bottom and click on those stars there to rate me. Thanks friends!

Illustration Friday: Renewal part deux

Here it is, all coloured. Better late than never?
This is the finished version of this sketch

Competition Law

These are some images my brother asked me to do up for a presentation he had to do on the ins and outs of Competition Law.

Illustration Friday: Renewal

This is my sketch for this week's Illustration Friday theme of 'Renewal'. I started out with the idea of an older couple renewing their vows, but now it just looks like a proposal.

Anyhow... I'm planning on colouring it up all purdy-like with a background and everything.

Update: Coloured version here
