Illustration Friday: Crash
click on image for larger viewgood news, true believers! i am no longer unemployed! which is why from now on i will be posting my IF illustrations on saturday.
this week's cover (though not an exact representation) is another homage, this time to those wacky underground comix of the 60s & 70s. the underground scene brought us some great artists such as Robert Crumb, Rick Griffin, & Gilbert Shelton to name a few, and inspired an entire generation of artists that fueled the independent comics boom that surged in the 80s and has evolved, thanks to the internet, and grown to this day.
as usual this illustration ws created specifically for this IF challenge. it was created in Adobe Illustrator. as always, thanks to everyone who posted comments last week and have a groovy week to come. enjoy the show!

Haha...great take!
Congrats, and congrats!!! On both the good news, and the fun illustration! Your work blows me away!
Hope the new situation is a great thing for you!
So cool! I love your style and your line work.
Man. I am digging on these fake comic covers! It reminds me of those comics in the late 70's that tried so hard to be edgy and 'Crumb-y', but it was like your grandma trying to use modern slang.
I am also quite impressed with your illustrator work. It really feels hand-inked. You also captured the not-quite-tight, not-quite-loose style of that genre.
el oh el. this gave me a great belly laugh. great inkwork.
