playing around, using recycled material textures and bits and pieces of drawing from previous illustrations, i made a quick new piece.

and then i made another!

last day!

today's random wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boyfriend_for_Christmas
A Boyfriend for Christmas was a made-for-tv movie that aired on the hallmark channel in 2004. After reading the synopsis, apart from actually kind of wanting to watch it ( I have a horrible soft spot for predictable rom-coms...) I decided to just veto this one and go to Coney Island instead.
(hey! It's my last day of freedom!)

started off nice, and i got a lot of writing done. But unfortunately it started getting cloudy and rainy later in the afternoon, and I'm really not as hard-core as I'd like to pretend. But it was a nice way to end the week :)

illustation possible: day four

Today was weird.

random wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyüpspor
"Eyüpspor Kulübü is the football team of Istanbul district Eyüp.
Team colours are lavender and yellow."

So...a Turkish miniature inspired pen and ink of soccer players?
oh that's normal. haha.

only one day left....

illustation possible: day three

so day three stumped me. the random wikipedia article was:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_pyramid
"ugh, maaath." Is what I said to myself when I saw this...
I actually spent most of the day wandering around thinking of other things,
(It's like high school all over again, ANYTHING to avoid math. haha.)

The final verdict? cut paper shapes of hexagons and triangles (the two shapes that make up a pentagonal pyramid) When I was done it sort of reminded me of It's a Small World. (But, then again most things do...)

so what about day four? in progress...here's a hint, it has something to do with sports.

illustation possible: day two

I'm in a vacation kind of mood... today's random wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Hemingway_House
Ernest Hemingway's house, where he lived in Key West, Florida from 1931-1939.

Sounds like a nice travel destination to me.

I looked at old art deco posters for inspiration.
I also simplified the house a lot, and I like how it came out sort of looking like a book. So I added some faint text to it.

EDIT: oops sorry, I didn't put the medium, it's digital with paper textures.
