Been too long since last posting so digging out an old cartoon that can just about fit the subject matter for this week's topic. Originally one of a series of six cartoon highlighting best web design practice for a company rolling out an intranet to it's staff, reaching it's audience through the power of funny wee drawings and, erm, biting wit! Hand drawn and coloured up in illustrator.

Illustration Friday - Pattern

In homage to those hidden 3-D images that would magically appear if you looked at the pattern for long enough - usually going cross-eyed in the process. Wait a minute, I'm starting to see something...
Adobe Illustrator and mouse, (since my dog has taken a taste for my graphic tablet's pen!)

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

Illustration Friday - Strong

 
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.

If it doesn't say jacuzzi, it probably isn't!

Illustration Friday - Wrapped

Wrapped
The lesser kilted sausage, traditionally prime sausage wrapped in a kilt made of bacon(!), but in Scotland at least, proud to wear the national dress. Sadly in decline due to the imminent arrival of tea-time! Line art and vectors courtesy of Adobe Illustrator.
