Belated Illustration Friday : Disguise

Ok I may have fallen off the IF train abit... I tried something more abstract and designy this time :)

cookie stories

Me and Alex made cookies on Saturday, we were like little kids (well more than usual) with play dough! Looks like we have a talent for designer cookie making :) now we just have to work on the taste...I think what we did was accidentally make pie pastry in cool shapes.

The most expensive beer in SA...

What's that, R18? Ok, I graciously hand over a R50 and smile - No, R80! EIGHT ZERO! Oh my soul....ok, it was for 2 beers, but still, R40 a beer?! But I love this beer so much (just had the good fortune to have other people pay for me up until now...) Eek! So of course we had to take the bottles as mementos, and now they are also the most expensive bottles I own....I shall squeeze every last drop of use out of them to make up! I found out last night that they are sold at a bottle store for like R18 each by where Stuart (My roomie Tarryn's bf) works - curses! But now I can look forward to comming home to a 6 pack of these babies :)

I'm in an exhibition nahnahnahnah....

Last Friday was opening night for a photo exhibition at Wolves (that place is so pretty I want to live there, plus they have cake and beer - two of my most favorite things). Look it is sooo pretty! Aaaaah! It was an exhibition open for public submission (film photos) and one of my submissions got picked - its the black and white pic with a black frame in the last photo (click to see bigger).

Illustration UnFriday : aeronautical rodents

I really didn't get to the Illustration Friday word "influence" this week, it was a bit of a meh word which didn't really make me think of any thing specific. I did draw this lil guy on one of my commuting journeys! Another pioneering aeronautical rodent, this time a little mouse dude who has harnessed the floaty power of bubbles!

Illustration Friday : Swell

A drawing I made a few years back when I was in my first year university. I thought it fitted this week's topic well. This was inspired by "Play crack the sky" by Brand New - there's a part of the song where he sings about "100 foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong..." Its a beautiful song, have a listen here.

Illustration Friday : Imperfect

Ike has a manufacturer's fault, as a bird holder he is absolutely useless as some one neglected to install a gate for his cage head, but he's happier than any robot will ever be.

Coloured pencils (which I haven't used in so long!) and pen.
