So, <i>that's</i> how it happens. It's been over a month since my last post. Life gets busy and blog updates drop down the list. Had to get the ol' part-time job to supplement the freelance career - or is it the other way around? Regardless, I'm still trying to draw more and find illustration work. These pages were a submission to a call-for-artists over at Digital Webbing, and a chance to practice a traditional inking style and use more puns. Kinda creepy and gross compared to what I have been posting here...later!Jason Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11817384247113278473noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313940233568938152.post-52693052049085368542010-03-11T08:46:00.000-08:002010-03-11T08:46:56.326-08:00Illustration Friday: brave<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu6DWPLat1K789SGeUedo5MpxhdxKIPAG4beOKOyQy_RZv1ALcLVhnZDFNsgzT304rqGDp9g9aKOACEqXsQrLe863LQDt9UYWXr0t5EKVLzqnokJvw54Y2qriVHrzjT2jK3WPloXHKVx4I/s1600-h/if_Brave.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu6DWPLat1K789SGeUedo5MpxhdxKIPAG4beOKOyQy_RZv1ALcLVhnZDFNsgzT304rqGDp9g9aKOACEqXsQrLe863LQDt9UYWXr0t5EKVLzqnokJvw54Y2qriVHrzjT2jK3WPloXHKVx4I/s200/if_Brave.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

This weeks subject over at <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> was: adrift.

This weeks subject over at <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> is: muddy. I know we all have Olympic fever by now, and I know we are all worried that they have enough snow up there in Vancouver for all of the outdoor events!

I felt like Conan missed out again by not being in that Late Show commercial! Maybe this illustration (and the $40 million settlement) will make him feel better...<br />
