Yippeee! I guess it’s better late then never. I couldn’t work much on this illustration last week, because I was super busy working on a huge deadline. Well, the deadline was completed and now I have time to paint. Fall begins on the August 21st and I wanted to say goodbye to summer. This year in Northern California was a scorcher!!! It broke all kinds of records! It inspired me to produce this watercolor painting. The beach scene was composited from photos I found from the web. Does anyone recognize the beach? Enjoy.
Hey, I’ve been super duper busy at the office these days but I can’t let up on my commitment to Illustration Friday – so here’s my submission for this week’s word “Fun”. It’s an illustration I did a few years back but I think it fits the topic alright. What could be more fun then a clown on a unicycle? Have a good week and thanks again for coming.
Hey, has this ever happened to anyone out there? It did to me once. I always go to one of those chain haircutters. I went to one real late one afternoon as it was real close to closing time. I got a hairstylist who never cut my hair before so she looked at her computer to see what I usually got it cut. It told her that I always got a number 2 clipper. Yes, it did, but it didn’t mean all around my head — which she did! I was furious! Now I can use the emotion of how I felt for this illustration.
I guess it’s not a total loss, at least I got a good illustration out of the whole experience. lol. 🙂
This is what I painted for this week’s IL word: “opposites”. I painted a vacationing fat cat from the view of a panhandler. I tried to play around with foreshortening a bit with the hand extending from the tourist’s body to the tin cup with the cityscape in the background. To add a little intrigue, I show the back of the sign so that the viewer can use his/her imagination as to what it says.
