Illustration Friday - Idle

Idle hands are the Devil's playground! - a proverb. Meaning... if you don't keep yourself busy doing good, it's easy to find yourself getting into mischief. That's why they invented crafting!


Medium: scraps of fabric stitched to paper with embroidery floss and sequins with digital embellishments.

Illustration Friday - Tango

Considered doing a couple caricatures for the movie "Tango and Cash" but didn't love any of the photos I found. Couldn't think of anything else clever so illustrated dancers was it. And it seemed like another good excuse to draw rhinos. Why not?



Medium: Graphite drawing digitally layered over photo.

Illustration Friday - Hollow

My thought process was: hollow > empty words > grandiose promises of opportunity in a business world. I've heard a lot of plans, schemes and bragging when it comes to making it big in the graphics industry. I've learned to take most of this with a grain of salt. Absolutely, it would be great it those plans panned out, but I'm not holding my breath. We make our own opportunities.
This illustration didn't start out as a couple-relationship. I drew the female character with her finger poking through the "O" in promises to demonstrate that she knew his words were hollow. As soon as I did that it obviously became a ring. Run with it!
