Illustration of Extra-Speed Dating, the speed dating of the “i-cant-wait” era

Just a little funny doodle, this one, but a good illustration of our era of narcissistic hurry. This was hand drawn as usual, with a TOMBO ABT felt tip pen.

Illustration of a screaming guy: lines and exaggeration for this drawing

As much as i like colors in an illustration, I still prefer to play around with b/w lines and fine details. In addition, I like to take objects out of their context – say a floating head. I find this fine line shadow drawing kind of a zen exercise. Even with a pencil.

Color illustration of Adam and Eve: in the iPhone 3G launch day, that’s a bitter apple

I enjoy depicting God in the funkiest way, say like a 60s producer or something. This color illustration – hey a color illustration on this blog is some kind of event! – is an attempt at giving a vivid coloring with Photoshop. Well, I’m pretty new at that, as I prefer line drawing and black and white, but still I like the result.

Illustration of an adventurous old man beholding a cute bartender: free interpretation

So basically in this illustration you have an aging man who could be either an adventurer or just a frequent client of the bar. I drew him first, then – since he had this mellow look – I imagined he could be looking at something nice, say an attractive bartender. Even though this illustration should be neutral, I guess I put some kind of morale, since she’s frowning upon him. Feel free to judge the scene otherwise.

Illustration of what will happen when the Web 2.0 bubble will pop: there will be ink.

After all this pencil work, there will be ink: this illustration / doodle finally gains back some black bold lines. I enjoy adding some extra details to illustrations with a 0.1 pigment liner (Staedtler, of course). Not really sure about the humor, though.
