Illustration Friday: Eye of the Beholder

"Perennial" is the theme for this week at Illustration Friday.  I chose to share with you another piece from my Topsy-Turvy series (where all works can be hung in multiple directions.)  The featured work today is one of several square four-way drawings I completed back in 2006-07.  Many of the two-way Topsy-Turvies deal with before and after, opposites, cause and effect, etc.  These square works deal with either progression, or in this case- constancy.  This particular work was exhibited in my Topsy-Turvy II exhibition in 2010.

Illustration Friday: Hitcher

"Hitcher" (inks on bristol / 2008)

Here's a surreal illustration for you from 2008 to go along with the theme of "Journey" for this week's Illustration Friday.  I look at this as my backpacker hippie-kinda piece.  I have always been pleased with the way the flower eyes turned out on the figure.  The four armed hitcher has his bag flung over his shoulder as he tests the air with a fistful of the desert.  Which way will the wind take him?

Each week, Illustration Friday chooses a theme from those submitted by artists and patrons for creative types to use as a prompt for their submissions. Click HERE to see all of my entries from this year!
