Tea has many amazing properties and I could easily believe this one. I often wonder who comes up with these experiments though...
I'd give you clues but I'm useless at not giving things away. I'll let people guess first...
I was just contemplating album covers and how they used to be a showcase for new ideas and art forms. These days so many of them look and feel the same. Anyway, I thought I'd have a go and see if I could come up with something for the Green Day album 'Warning'. It may look a little odd but each image is referencing a track on the CD. The inflatable child is from the Macy's Day Parade- in case you were wondering!
How hard could it be to get a parcel from A to B? I won a lovely pair of shoes on eBay before Christmas, paid and waited patiently for them to arrive. I even took into account the dreaded 'Christmas Post'. Today I finally gave up on ever seeing them. My bank won't get me my money back, Paypal say there is nothing they can do and eBay say nothing at all. Royal Mail offered me a refund if I had a postal receipt. Thing is, I didn't send the parcel so I don't have the receipt do I?
As ever it was the first thing that popped into my head. I'm very impulsive when it comes to my image-making. I work on the theory that my first thought is often the strongest idea.
Just an idea I was kicking around with as I tried to think of images for Father's Day. My Dad used to do this with Scalectrix. He'd buy us the track and the cars and spend ages setting it up just so he could play with it. He did the same with the lego except he'd let us play- he'd just keep the best pieces as he was making a spaceship or moonbuggy. Nowadays he doesn't have us as an excuse so he buys Dinky toys because they are 'collectable'. Awww, bless.
I'm such an eager beaver that I've completed two illustrations for this week's topic. I remember being told once that if anyone ever intimidates you- just imagine them sitting on the toilet. Works every time!
Sadly my attempt at Charlie Sheen looks more than a little like John Cusack, whilst Martin Sheen bears a certain resemblance to Christopher Walken. Ah well. I may have borrowed the idea of not showing God's face from the Simpsons. Credit where credit is due!
You wouldn't bee-lieve (sorry) how long it took me to draw and then colour in each individual bee. I figured it would be worth it for the final overall effect.
This guy is a champion darts player and I saw a picture of him and was inspired. He just begged to be drawn.
