Today’s image is a request from my good friend Bianca “The Marathon Runner” Gillin. She asked for some hairy font action and this is what she gets!

HELP (#47)
Ok, Unlock Me was yesterday, now HELP today… the psychologists among you may be reading something into this Creative Panic thing by now but I assure you, I only wrote help cos I like the way I do the E and P and KELP just didn’t cut it 🙂
Unlock Me (#46)
Today’s illustration is nothing more than my desire to draw a crapload of vintage keys. Vintage keys of course need a vintage lock and there you have it… enjoy!
Build it up (#45)
I loved building blocks as a kid. My siblings and I would have competitions to see who could build their column the highest and naturally it would end in tears with one of us going their best Godzilla impersonation and knocking it all down!
It’s TLR Love (#44)
I love my Yashica 635, the vintage medium format 120 film camera I rock with when I get the chance. There is something about the permanency of film that I love. I shoot digital on commercial jobs, but for personal work I prefer film most of the time. Check out my Flickr stream to see some shots off the Yashica.
Hi to all the visitors from FRESHLY PRESSED! This illustration is #44 in my One Illustration a Day project. I am up to #56 today and you can check out all the illustration to date here
Sleight of Hand (#43)
Sleight of hand, also known as prestidigitation (“quick fingers”) or legerdemain, is the set of techniques used by a magician (or card sharp) to manipulate objects such as cards and coins secretly. Sleight-of-hand techniques can also be used to cheat in gambling games, in street con games such as the three-shell game, or three-card monte to steal, or, sometimes, to claim supernatural powers, as in the performances of some 19th- and early 20th-century spirit mediums. ~ Wikipedia.
I’ve had this phrase rattling around in my head for a while as Pearl Jam and Radiohead have both used it in song lyrics and I thought it would be a cool thing to illustrate. So, here it is!
No Idea (#42)
Just one of those days really, the creativity isn’t flowing and the normal lightning strike of inspiration has not come… but alas, I must solider on, for the good of… well, because a few people now know about this little project and I don’t want to look like a failure now do I!
After this one I still have 323 illustrations to do… a touch scary when you put a number on it!
The Pen or the Sword (#41)
I really enjoy tattoo’s. Looking at them, seeing them getting done, getting them done on me. They are an awesome form of self-expression and when you get a good artist you really have a piece of fine art on your body forever… that is cool. Within the tattoo genre, the old school Sailor Jerry look is quite popular with the young’ns these days so today’s image is a little tip of the hat in that direction. The all-seeing eye, a (feather) pen and a sword… got no idea how that came about but here it is! 🙂
Into a Clear Lake (#40)
Today’s image is my take on a new Radiohead song Codex (check it out in the YouTube clip after the jump) and a continuation from yesterday’s illustration which, the more I look at, the more it looks like the sun is being reflected in a pool of water.
Codex is a really haunting song and the image of a crystal blue lake with feet dangling in it has played through my mind when I hear the song. I hope you like today’s image… if you do leave a comment and tell your friends! 🙂
Easy like Sunday morning (#39)
I’m yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like Faith No More’s cover of the Commodore’s Easy. I wanted to do a typography based illustration today and this is what came out… I started it on Sunday morning but it’s being posted on Sunday afternoon! 😀
