This is an illustration about scale and perspective.
Ocean story
Women dancing on a life raft, unaware of imminent danger.
Another illustration for the new portfolio I am putting together. One thing I like most about these things are the type of concepts that I think they can accommodate. I think my new motto is, make it function very little but make it function. I am looking forward to a new healthier relationship with illustration concepts. No more businessman-with-dollar-bills-for-ice-skates. Of course there are always editors who will make that call for you, I guess.
A friend said this reminded him of his ex-girlfriend. And doesn’t it remind all of us of our ex-girlfriends?Exactly.
Ernest Shackleton Portrait
I drew this portrait of Ernest Shackleton, Arctic explorer. Not sure if I will keep the colors or cropping just yet.
I’ve read a couple of books on Shackleton and his failed voyage on the Endurance. In most accounts of his leadership on the Endurance he is portrated as a steadfast leader. However, a large biography I have read by Roland Huntford, explains that he was basically a mess when not in situations of responsibility. When nothing demanded his greater qualities, none were provided. He also fought tirelessly to secure those situations for himself. It’s an interesting look into what distinguishes leaders and doers.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Drew this picture today in honor of cruel St. Valentine and his legion of heartbreakers. This is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to work a concept into this new easier going, collage style of illustration. I think it turned out pretty well, though not very romantic. Let it be a warning. You will be my valentine.
