This weeks late submission for Illustration Friday theme Pale. Such a simple concept but I found it hard to make a decision as to what do with this theme.

Only played in photoshop for this one, not having time to experiment with painter, but I’m starting to prefer photoshop anyway for illustrations. Painter just seems clunky for me, not to mention buggy. I had it crash last week when i was finished up the previous week’s theme. I guess i should have saved more as I went along.

Anyway hope you enjoy…

This weeks submission for Illustration Friday: Contained.

I wanted to explore this weeks theme by trying to capture an asylum seekers point of view within a detention centre and how the Australian government (or any government for that matter) feels they have solved their problems by cramming people looking for a new home behind fences and cage.

I really don’t see how this is an ideal solution for anyone, especially not for the people incarcerated in these centre’s nor the government spending the tax payer money running these shit holes.

There must be a better answer to this.

This weeks submission for Illustration Friday: resolve.

For some reason, every time i think of the word resolve , i picture some sort of cleaning product, so i decided to appropriate a 1950s type cleaning ad with some personal touches and an updated theme.

This  week’s submission Illustration Friday for the theme clandestine: characterized by, done in, or executed with secrecy or concealment, esp. for purposes of subversion or deception; private or surreptitious.

This was created in Corel Painter using the sumi-e brushes with the Wacom  tablet and finished off  with the layering of textures and othere elements in photoshop.

Here’s my Submission for this week’s Illustration Friday for the theme Voices. This was created in Corel Painter with Wacom Intuos 3 tablet and finished off in photoshop.

I wanted to interpret the theme with more of a psychological approach to the subject, that could lend itself to more of an expressive style without taking itself to serious. I guess its hard to approach a dark topic without coming off as a retarded emo carebare, but I think it works.

A portrait of my boys as they are the definition of rambunctious, ” difficult to control or handle; wildly boisterous: a rambunctious child.”

This photo was taken during one of their more destructive days where they smothered everything with butter (TV, couch, floor) and then continued on to clean it up by licking it clean…

God knows what goes through their heads, but you can’t help but laugh
