Super Friends

My daughter Abby has been bit by the comic book bug. (thanks in part to seeing my comic collection in the basement) One of the comics she's been buying is Super Friends based on the Mattel superhero toys. I thought I'd try my hand at super hero drawing and here's what I came up with based on an image from one of the comics. (note - no Wonder Twins....thank God)

This was a black marker on white paper image that I used photo shop to color. As an experiment I will also post the same image colored with markers.

Update: The second image is colored with markers.

IF Subtract

This week's Illustration Friday topic is subtract. It got me thinking back to learning basic math facts in elementary school. Being a child of the 70s my parents bought me the "Little Professor" calculator to help me practice my math. An electronic version of flash cards.

I actually found this in the basement a year or so ago (the benefits/curse of being in a family of pack rats) and it still worked. I gave it to my oldest daughter to use but I believe she just thinks it's an antique. (and she's not necessarily wrong)

IF Celebrate


Halflings (i.e. Hobbits) love food. Whenever they get together in large groups they celebrate with a food fight.

I was actually working on the image above as a logo for a Bloodbowl team I created called "Fling 'n' Food". But the story above also makes the image work for this week's Illustration Friday topic: celebrate.

IF Time

I got sick last week and, ironically, didn't have time to post an image for the Illustration Friday topic: Time. Off to go work on this week's topic: Celebrate
