Illustration Friday – Rescue

paul — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:06:41 +0000

Rescue – or pet rescue in this circumstance. A nod to the important role pet rescue centres provide, offering a second to chance to animals who deserve to find a good home, as was the case with my own border collie Poppy. Created in adobe illustrator, initially as a mock-up for a boarding kennel but shoe-horned to fit this week’s topic.

Clumsy

… or, more specifically, how to be clumsy to your advantage at work. Warning – This technique only works under certain pre-determined conditions and even then, there are no guarantees. Useful hints. 1. Check the individual you are trying to attract is actually in his office and not on the golf course, this can save valuable time. 2.Gentlemen, your success rate may vary considerably.

Illustration Friday – Welcome

Welcome

… to my world. First thing I thought of when I read this week’s topic, and just couldn’t shake it! (But Jim certainly could!) Welcome to my World was a big hit for Jim Reeves in 1964, the year he died in a plane crash, and only a year after country legend Patsy Cline suffered the same fate. Both pilots of those ill-fated flights it emerged later were trained by the same flight instructor! Strange but true….

An Adobe Illustrator creation. For Dad

Strong

Strong cheese at bedtime, a recipe for nightmares! An experimental piece that went off on a tangent, but if it stops just one person eating copious amounts of cheddar before sleeps my mission will have been accomplished! An Illustrator creation.

Vector vs Bitmap illustrated at 400% magnification – in your face literally!

Illustration Friday – Idle

IF – Idle
Introducing the idle eaters, like odour eaters, but instead of removing bad smells they get rid of lazy sods wherever they may idle. Character designed in Illustrator, I’m going to lie down now.

Illustration Friday – Hierarchy

IF – Hierarchy
The organisational hierarchy of the freelancer. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it!

IF – Fleeting

The photograph, a fleeting moment captured for eternity. Although before the advent of flash photography, probably a fleeting two minutes or so! Watch the birdie!
A fleeting Illustrator production.
