Illustration Friday: Dusty

I was cleaning our computer desk because it was ridiculous. There were lots of old bills and dust. And then there was this:


A little sketch that Carlos did. I don't know what the backstory is on this guy, but I liked it and I posted it!

More Monday inspiration found while cleaning was this photocopy of a picture of my Mom in her twenties. I love this photo of her. I've always wanted to do a painting based on this photo:



And this wasn't in the pile, but I was drinking this while cleaning. It's really good! And I LOVE the label. I'd love to do a werewolf piece in this style:

Illustration Friday Topic: Savor


I changed this up a little bit since I last posted it on here: my illustration of The Little Mermaid. Thinking about the original Hans Christian Anderson story, it makes me think about being happy with who you are and not changing that for another person to want you. You have to "savor" who you are.

Added bonus, this and other prints will be available at 20% off on Cyber Monday. Promo code: CMBR2010 at http://www.etsy.com/shop/beenznrice

Illustration Friday Topic: Racing


Here is a vector illustration I did for a T-shirt. I think I may get more T-shirts printed with this design...

Illustration Friday Topic: Racing


Another oldie for today's topic. This is from Carlos and was one of his first Photoshop projects. Not bad for a first Photoshop effort eh?

Illustration Friday Topic: Spooky


Here's an old piece from Carlos. This was part of his Senior Thesis at Otis College of Art and Design. It's an illustration of the trenches from WWI. Spooky indeed.

Illustration Friday Topic: Worn


Another oldie but goodie. This was from a submit to do a graphic novel, which we didn't get, but the pieces Carlos did for it were great. Here's our Illustration Friday submission for the topic: Worn.

Illustration Friday Topic: Craving

Hi Everyone! Here we have an oldie but a goodie! This is an illustration Carlos did in school, when we were first learning how to paint with Photoshop. I thought it would be suitable for "Craving" because the characters seem to be craving a bit of danger with their ice cream!

Illustration Friday Topic: Contagious


Didn't get to quite finish it...but I'm happy with it. I leave it up to YOUR interpretation!

Illustration Friday Topic: Impossibility

So it's been a while since I've done any faerie artwork, but I am totally inspired by the season to start it up again. Here's the first go. She's not completely finished because of the time constraints, but I like her so far!

Illustration Friday Topic: Celebration

Inspired by recently discovering that our daughter is a tween. The celebration is represented by the tween girl mentality. This is not a direct portrait of her, but is definitely inspired by some tween issues we have been dealing with lately! It is not easy being a parent, and there is always something to be learned on both sides. I'd love to hear some comments on people who can relate!

Illustration Friday Topic: Climbing


I almost illustrated Rapunzel irritated and in pain because of all the hair pulling, but I just didn't have the energy today. Maybe next time. Here is a nice traditional drawing for you all.

Illustration Friday Topic: Pale

I don't know her story, maybe you can come up with a good one. This drawing started off as a version of Snow White, but then I didn't feel like making her hair black or her lips blood red. I think I was channeling my inspiration from some of Jasmine Becket-Griffith's recent color schemes. I really like the soft ethereal effect on this. I think I may use it again.

Also, if you are an Illustrator from Illustration Friday, please view the post before this--we are starting a personal art tour this year, and I really respect all the Illustrators on the site, and would love your input on our idea.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!
