Heavy Potted Plant


There is a potted plant in the Jacaranda tree-lined road - a gift for Easter. It looks like it's heavy!

This is a stretch for the Illustration Friday word "heavy," but was the only image that emerged.

Garden


"Garden" illustration for Illustration Friday (which is where I should be on this glorious sunny day instead of inside working on my computer).

Hawaiian Happy Face spiders really do look like that!

Leap Frog

Entry for IllustrationFriday's topic LEAP (this being a leap year). I painted the curtains, stars & moon on the Saatchi website then added the leaping frogs in photoshop. They look like they're having fun!

Painting Sense into Statistics

I'm trying for something more relevant for this week's Illustration Friday topic "MULTIPLE."

Per the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans spent $3.3 billion $s in 2002 on Firearms & ammunition but only $6.5 million on Art goods. Per the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control, those most at risk of dying from guns are young men age 20-24. What young males that age did with those guns was kill each other (2,749 died from homicide, more blacks than whites) or themselves (2,251 died from suicide,more whites than blacks).

If more young men picked up a paint brush instead of a gun, the world would be a happier place.

Hey!

I CHOOSE to draw my mouth. While trying to draw a mouth shapped like a heart (in honor of Valentine's Day) I was forced to refer to the real thing in the mirror and what came out was a mouth that appeared to be saying "hey." This was done for fun on the Saatchi website http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourstudio/ but I thought it would also work for the weekly Illustration Friday topic "Choose" at http://illustrationfriday.com/
