Illustration Friday - Clumsy

some clumsy shading here though I like to think it was deliberate, and definitely a clumsy attempt to make this picture fit the topic

Illustration Friday - Wilderness

the beautiful Pacific rain forest in British Columbia

Illustration Friday - Confined

I originally did this pastel from a photo I took at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo, I eliminated the cage bars for my pastel. For this topic I put them in using Gimp. I have mixed feelings about zoos, on one hand it's great to see th animals close up, on the other hand they are often confined to rather small areas

Illustration Friday - Renewal

I had a hard time thinking of an image for this so I did a few Internet searches and discovered a pagan symbol for renewal, the eagle. Apparently for the celts the eagle symbolized renewal, courage and intelligence and teaches how to rejuvenate and renew one’s life.

Illustration Friday - Pioneers

Little Richard, one of the pioneers of Rock and Roll. A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo!

Illustration Friday - Undone

it's amazing how quickly everything can come undone

Illustration Friday - Hatch

judging by the bottles it looks as if these guys have poured a few "down the hatch". Yes, it is a bit of a stretch for the topic, I just wanted to draw another accordion player
