IF Confined

Sometimes I feel confined by my cubicle at work and just need to escape.

IF Renewal

I combined the sun and moon and yin and yang for this week's Illustration Friday topic "Renewal". I'm also attempting to renew my resolution to post more drawings on my blog in 2010.

Happy New Year! I hope your 2010 is better than your 2009.

P.S. I'm saying "twenty-ten" instead of "two thousand-ten". New decade, new pronunciation.

Happy Holidays

Been a while since I've posted, thought I'd at least get one more post in before Christmas. Since 2009 seems to be the year of Android I created this image to celebrate the season.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

IF Pattern

I stumbled across a contest on the web to create your own Mountain Dew can. Being a Mt. Dew drinker I gave it a shot and came up with my own Mt. Dew logo. I'm reusing that logo to create a pattern for this week's Illustration Friday topic on "Pattern". (click on image for larger view)

IF Infinite

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Infinite" and I really struggled at first to come up with an idea. However, when I was working on another drawing that required an image of a drop it sparked an idea in my head. This image is meant to illustrate that there is infinite love and infinite pain in the universe. (oooh, very deep and mystical)

I didn't want to just have a plain white background so at first I toyed with the idea of a starry background to represent the universe. Then I realized the thorns would just get lost on that background. I switched to a flesh tone background as I thought this image might look cool as a tattoo.

IF Magnify & Strong

I never got a chance to submit for last week's Illustration Friday topic "Magnify". I thought I'd combine it with this week's topic "Strong" and show the super strong ant up close.

IF Caution

When I heard that "Caution" was this week's Illustration Friday topic I immediately thought of caution road signs. I brainstormed several different ideas but finally settled on the image above. It means "Caution - Nerd Ahead". (taped glasses being the international symbol for nerds.)
