Illustration Friday: Camouflage
click on image for larger viewthis week's topic was easy peasy. as soon as i saw it i knew what i wanted to do. if the guy in the foreground looks familiar it's because it's Charlie Sheen from Platoon. it's been a long day and i didn't feel like inking so i did a quicky photoshop version. it works, so who cares.
anyway, i've been a fan of Stan Ridgway since his early days with Wall of VooDoo. when the band broke up and he went solo i think he got even better. with songs like Calling Out for Carol, I wanna Be a Boss, The Roadblock, and Camouflage Ridgway established himself as one of music's great story tellers.
from the first time i heard Camouflage i loved this song. it would be perfect for Weird War Tales or The Twilight Zone. so as an added treat for music lovers (and a diversionary ploy to distract you from the fact that there's no actual camouflage in the illustration) i've linked the video i found on YouTube below. Enjoy.
this illustration was created using adobe illustrator and photoshop specifically for this IF challenge. everyone who answered last week's noprize question wins a sparklely brand spankin' new noprize! yay, won't mama be proud! as always, thanks for popping in and have a groovy week ahead!

That's AWSOME. The song was going through my head when I read the theme/topic of the week. I couldn't think of anything interesting to do with it.
Great idea!
"Whoa oh oh camo-flage..."
I had never heard that song before but it's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing it!
Nice comic cover. I'd read it!
So, I really like Stan, and yet, had never heard of 'camoflage'. So, I tried to google it, and the 'google memory' told told me I'd already looked it up! I don't remember that!
Damn age.
What I like about the cover is how it referenced the 'in-country' parts of the video. Now, I want you to actually make a comic of the song.
Or ask Mike Golden to do it.
