Getting back into (conservative) illustration
CRASHR Art ^ | 4-24-15 | The Looking Spoon

Posted on 04/24/2015 5:09:37 PM PDT by The Looking Spoon

I haven't posted in a while because I started doing projects that are more time intensive. I decided to stop doing graphics/memes for the most part, in favor of going back to my first love, illustration.

I still plan to do the occasional graphic like this one I created recently...

But I missed drawing and illustrating, and I essentially gave it up to create all of the graphics I've created over the years because I don't have time to do both. Anyway, here are a couple of pieces I was fairly happy with, and I wanted to share them here. :-)

Red Tape

Don't Make Sam Angry

Thinking Outside The Box

After Ted Cruz debuted his logo and the left sneeringly said it looked like a burning flag (as opposed to the real intent, to represent light) this idea popped in my head.

These, and more (including sketches and works in progress), are posted at my illustration blog.

I much prefer your rendering Of the Ted Cruz Logol

the elimination of the red white and blue does indeed do the trick.

a single color unifies and clarifies the intent of the symbolic nature of the image!

The Flame logo would make a nice Cruz logo!

I like Uncle Sam on the Eagle. I’d love to see more versions of that one.

Well done!

Thank you all for the nice feedback. It’s been years since I’ve done this type of work and it ironically feels I’m drawing better than I ever have. The Photoshop stuff was fun, but I’m glad to be doing this stuff again.
