Illustration Friday: Refresh

So here's my entry for this week's Illustration Friday theme: Refresh.  Etch-a-Sketch was the first thing that popped in my head.  I just got back into town from a frustrating, out-of-state business trip and I had a ton of gobbledeegoop swimming around in my head.  I just wished I could shake my head and make all the nonsense disappear.  But, drawing this seemed to work just as well.

Illustration Friday: Space

Here's my piece for the theme: SPACE.  If you look it up, it turns out that NASA apparently had quite an issue getting their space monkeys to survive the trip mainly because of parachute issues.  Parachute issues!  You'd think they would have tried it out on watermelons first if they were trying to work out the parachute bugs.  So I'm sure the chimps (or rather rhesus monkeys) would have turned down the offer given the track record, had they been given the chance.  

Quick Draw

Because my days are usually filled with back-to-back phone calls and angry emails, I find that I don't always have the time to sit and put some decent effort into a nice sketch.  So I've been challenging myself to create quick illustrations on my whiteboard in my office.  It has been another rough week (3 years running) so I drew a worn out fella having a smoke.  The whole thing took me just under a minute (it would have taken longer had I added hair).  I figured I should take a picture and save it before I or someone else erases it. 

Just some things

 Here are some pictures I drew on my whiteboard and some random paperwork.  Most of them are from last year and I know I've shown them to friends already but they seemed worth posting and I didn't really have anything to say.



My Lucha Libre pinapple I mentioned in my "Crappy Little Story" post last year.  Can you undertsand the words that are coming out of his mouth?

 



Yeah.  Don't know what I was thinking.  I just needed to draw something.
It received mixed reviews from around the office.  I didn't know it was an exhibit.



This is one of my favorites.  Simple in design and humor.
There's just something funny about a can of soup being portrayed as "gangsta".



My latest "creation".  Not sure where the thought came from on this one.
I guess it's supposed to represent the "little guy" taking on "the man".  Who knows.
