This week’s submission for Illustration friday theme breezy.  Inspiration came from one of the photos i took of my wifey on our wedding night.

Illustrated in Corel Painter and edited in photoshop.

http://tinyartdirector.blogspot.com/ – just discovered this little gem of a site.  The site revolves around Bill Zeman Illustration’s art directed by his four year old daughter. As you can imagine working with a four year, there’s bound to be lots of memorable moments.

Here’s an excerpt from the site about the illustration above:

The Brief: A dinosaur eating a R and an O and an S and a I and a E
The Critique: That’s not what I want. That’s a Brachiosaurus. I want a T Rex. He’s supposed to have the other letters in his mouth too. See look! He’s only eating that one. What letter is that?

This is a portrait of my papou (grandfather in Greek) for this weeks Illustration friday created in photoshop with the help of my trusty wacom.

His old, obviously.  I don’t know how old he is exactly (I’m a nice grandson aren’t i?), but he has always seemed old to me. The thing is that his appearance has hardly changed over the years since I can remember, with the short curly grey hair and the aged wise look.

For me this illustration represents a stasis of time, with everyone else in the family growing older except for my grandfather.

This week’s submission for Illustration Friday theme: Flawed.

I  incorporated the concept of the flawed body image into the work by appropriating Velazquez’s painting “Venus at her Mirror” with the modern day context of cosmetic surgery. Not sure if it works or not, but I’m kind of happy with it.

I switched between photoshop and painter for this, using the pastel and blender tools in painter with the brush tools in photoshop for the sketching.

Black Dynamite is a 70’s style blaxploitation film written and directed by Scott Sanders starring Michael Jai White as black dynamite as bad mofo from around the way. This is my kind of movie with some kick-ass old school action and exploitation of women, sorry I meant bitches, of all colour.

The poster is pretty awesome with the vintage treatment the gave to the illustration’s.  Love the fact Dynamite is holding a pair of nunchucks while wielding a gun. What a bad-ass.
