"Insecticide" happens on many levels as Steve and Billy demonstrate here. Not something I condone...yet, nonetheless...it happens!
O.K. This was the third idea that I had for "Insect," much along the same lines as the second. I still have a couple others..I'm not sure if I will post them. This topic really has me going.
I have a new method now. Graphite sketch, copy over in ink simplisticly so colouring on computer will adhere to edges. Print in colour then add detail in coloured pencil and more ink. Any suggestions will be helpful.
I have a Wacom (9x11) but no programme to go with it so it collects dust in my studio at the moment. My birthday is coming so I hope the birthday fairy remembers I need a programme! LOL!!
My nephews send many pictures that they drew I have to work on scanning them in...please be sure to stop by and post some words of encouragement! (See my profile for their blogs.)
"It's true Harold bugged everyone but no one expected Arthur to snap one day and take matters into his own hands. Yes, this was a clear case of...INSECTICIDE!"
O.K. This is old, and I am still working on the new piece for this week's entry...however, I saw a piece on Sharon Colman and her Oscar nominated short called "Badgered" and thought it was more important to post something so I could get the word out about this teriffic artist!
What a perfect entry for this illo. Couldn´t be more right! Cool logo!
ReplyDeleteLove the illo.

ReplyDeleteThose nasty boys! Oh well, it's not like we have a shortage of insects on our planet (or nasty kids come to think of it). Anyhow, great stuff!
ReplyDeletemy little brother was at war with ants, he spent hours with a spray bottle filled with water and dishsoap taking out the little guys... hmmm. boys. nice take on the topic
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've been looking for Badgered as badgers are my favourite animal! Those first two insect pictures are pretty savage :). It's made up for my the beauty of the third though - has this been made up as a stained-glass window? It should be!
ReplyDeleteWhen's your birthday (no, I'm not sending software, but mine is soon as well)...
Nice! The Harold and Arthur illustration is my favorite - so funny. I like the look of the characters.
