Illustration Friday: Open

Friday October 12, 2007

My first ever Illustration Friday submission—I hope it’s in time for the deadline! :)

Hand-drawn, scanned, and then coloured with Photoshop.

Pssst, if you want to see this hung as part of a gallery show in Open, an art gallery in Long Beach, California, go on over to IF’s blog to see how you can make it happen. :)

I love your little road there! Through the trees and past the birds. So pretty! I’ve been thinking of doing what you did too, importing a drawing into photoshop, you’ve inspired me to just do it – thank you! Good luck with Illustration Friday :)

Great colors and shapes. Reminds me of some of the old rock posters from the 1960’s like the “Woodstock” poster and Filmore posters of that era. Great work.
