Taped (Shut-Up)

This is an illustration I did to make myself feel as if I could quite down my enviroment at the time. People were just talking and asking dumb questions, so I just went ahead and drew this right on the spot. It took me a couple of minutes and after I was done I wanted to make a t-shirt out of it and replace the word TAPED with SHUTUP...

Maybe I can talk the president into wearing one of these for all of his speeches.

This is done with pencil and scanned at a dark setting. I wanted to pick up the paper texture and the detail of the pencil.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Three days late to say so but for those that read this for the first time it still means the same. This year I plan to really focus on the creative side of my designs. Layouts are great, I have tons of them gridded out - but I just want to explore the side that just lets the hand do the talking. I will launch my new website this year with mostly all of my creative work. Sure I will have professional work, to show how diverse I can be, but its focus will be my creative mind. I have been influenced by the world events to post a number of socially driven illustrations, look to the website once it is launched to see my work - Art Without Words!

Kool Kat

I did this outline sometime ago and I finally got around to coloring it...I just went with what my mind saw and I think it came out great! This was drawn in pencil then finalized with a pen. After scanning it in I colored it using PhotoShopCS2 and my pen mouse! Oh, and my wife took part in color choices.
