Spring

This weeks topic for Illofriday is spring. What better wasy to ring in spring than the blossoming of flowers. I did this certain illustration by just using the Auto Trace Tool in Illustrator (thnx Charly). I used a picture of some flower blossoms and traced the hell out of them. I hope you enjoy. peace geese

Monster (Astro-SoulEating-Scarab-Creep Man)

I know what you are all thinking right now, "this does not look like a monster to me T.J.". Trust me on this one, this character is more of a monster than you could ever imagine. Astro-SoulEating-Scarab-Creep Man is such an evil creature, that anyone who looks upon him will instantly burst into flames. Astro-SoulEating-Scarab-Creep Man comes in the night and steals childrens souls while destroying the flesh of there parents. The worst part about Astro-SoulEating-Scarab-Creep Man is that he cannot be stopped, not by anything. That is what makes him the worst kind of monster around.

Insects

Hello again. So this weeks topic for illo-friday was insects. i dont exactly know why i decided to do butterflies (maybe so i can bang a mother's day gift out of the way too, who knows), but it totally came out kick-ass! i pretty much just used a lot of of graphic styles on this one. i think it came out pretty rad.

Tea 4 two

so this weeks topic was tea....lol. as u can see, i decided to go with what wakes me up in the morning, a Starbucks green Tea, and a herbal tea. i used a lot of different effects, especially on the wood panels and the wall, as well as the sky. i can honestly say that i rushed to get this one in because i have been really busy working on a kick ass picture this week. i hope you dig this. when i finally finish the other pic, i'll post that as well.

"Returning from the water cold alive and shining Rock a mic in the afterlife while your moon is rising Heatin' up forcing steam whirling to be seen The dark held stars are the frost of my breathing Swimming through the darkness I'm a ghostly shark Developing like a photograph slowly in the dark The hearafter the action the main attraction One love in all of this that I'm going after Now there's fire inside but black space surrounds you You think "Where oh where am I" but even your light continues See through us see a soul we have not yet Learned to harness see the next world inside it We are the people of skin who left water Inside the dark womb inside of our mother Prone to the beat and vibe of our tribe We catch the drift and ride moving tides Out from a love that will keep on burning Now see yourself to the next world returning This life an old place we face to live again What is it to understand the heareafter" -Basically, that's me in a nutshell- (lyrics: SA Martinez-311)
