IF: Poof!



Here's a little old circus magic that I did awhile back, I suppose the green smoke will suffice for a little abracadabra "poof" that this weeks Illustration Friday topic requests. Feels like I've been out of the loop at IF for awhile now, seems like the summers always have me runnin a bit short on time. Hope everyone else is havin a great one!

IF: Forgotten {3}



A nightmare that has the potential to manifest when the "general public" sleeps in and realizes once it's too late that they have all forgotten to vote. That cute little head fits perfectly in "the new democrazy's" mouth...

Inspired by one of my favorite nightmares as a kid...here's to you Wes Craven!

IF: Forgotten {2}



Ahhh, the carbon footprint...this sloth obviously "forgot" to stop and smell the flowers. Better be careful, a couple of these little fellas look like they could uproot and come after ya.

Would love to see this end up on the cover of an album...any musicians/takers?

IF: Forgotten



This weeks Illustration Friday topic was Forgotten and this is a little excerpt from the story I made up for it...

He ran to the shore's edge and plopped himself down. Completely caught up in the excitement of the moment, he never realized that he had forgotten to bait the hooks. As he sat and dangled his feet off the edge of the world waiting for a bite, he pondered weather or not he really could make a fish fly. He stared at the fish, and they all stared right back, almost as confused as he. The worms on the other hand had no intention of waiting around for him to come to his senses. They lurched over the side of the rusty coffee can one by one and made a slithering run for less hostile grounds.

Sort of makes me want to go rig up a kite with a hook and try this out now...

Pepsi Can Design




My illustration for the "Design Our Pepsi Can" contest.

The first time it gazed upon that beautiful ice cold refreshing aluminum pepsi can... it was love at first sight. Ahhhhh, nothin like a little robot love to make you want to drink Pepsi.
