Here’s a recent illustration I did just for fun. Lately I’ve been playing around with scanning in my traditionally inked drawings and then using Adobe Illustrator to color them. After that I play around with different texture effects in Photoshop. Fun all around!

This illustration is available through iStock (the non-textured version below is anyways). Enjoy!

Update 8/20/10: I’ve decided to enter this illustration to this week’s Illustration Friday challenge: Atmosphere. I think it’s fitting, don’t you?

Long before your Kindles or iPads books were printed on real paper and bound together. I know, sounds like a waste of paper, but it’s true! Here is an image of a girl from such time reading one of these old-fashioned books. She looks real focused, doesn’t she? This week’s Illustration Friday theme is “focused” so here’s my submission. It’s also available for stock use here.

It’s been a while since doing a fun, simple illustration in Adobe Illustrator. So, here you go. Not sure why I chose a clown. Clowns really don’t appeal to me that much.
