Illustration Friday: In Egypt

Today, the artists of Illustration Friday have been prompted to go on a "Safari."  This theme immediately brought me to a series of works I started in 2008 where I was really getting into Egyptian art.  My goal was to do an entire series based around works inspired my imagery from their art and culture.  Among my favorite and most inspirational artist cultures are the Egyptians, along with Indian and Native American design. I only ended up with a few works of this style, one of which has been exhibited and you may recognize from my business cards!  However, the featured illustration today has never been exhibited or shown, so soak it up with fresh eyes and let me know what you think!

Illustration Friday: Swelter

Illustration Friday threw the theme of "sweater" at us this week.  Well, this guy's sweatin' up a storm so I guess he qualifies.  This illustration from 2006 was from my Scenes of Faith and Devotion exhibit, which displayed at The Phoenix Theater in Bowling Green, KY and then at The Icehouse Cafe in Clarksville, TN.  Pardon the pun on this week's theme and keep your fingers crossed for no more snow (I've been snowed out of the office at my marketing job twice this week!)
