illustrationfriday: STRENGTH

I'm gonna try to keep doing a postcard a week at least for the illustrationfriday theme. I thought of many obvious things for this week's subject, but I wanted to make it something a bit 'different' and cryptic. My first effort was the one with the big weight on it, and then I got thinking of a better idea, so I did the other one this morning.

The explanation: There's strength in numbers, of course.

illustrationfriday: NIGHT

Well, it has certainly been a long time, eh. I've kept getting the prompt emails with the topic on them each week, but have hardly had time to scratch myself, let alone devote time to drawing. Hell, I've even been letting my other art go, which is pissing me off...

Anyhow, one of my more recent preoccupations/addictions is postcarding. I sometimes send ready-made ones, and sometimes I make them myself. This week, as soon as I saw the topic, I got a cool idea for an illo in my head, and then I thought I'd combine the two interests, and WAHLAH I've illustrated a postcard to use to send off! This one has actually already gone to the mailman (or should that be politically correct and be 'mailperson'?), but I'm pretty happy with the result.

A simple picture for a lovely theme. I used one of my favourite metallic gel pens on a small piece of black backing board. Feedback is always welcome.
