A quickie illustration for Cara and to learn CS4

This one was a long time coming. On a cold rainy night downtown, we ducked inside a chain bookstore to kill time and warm up. Flipping through a design magazine to kill time, I saw something that looked very similar to this. Years later, unable maybe to get the image out of my head I made my own version.

An abstract I did to relieve some stresses at a lonely night Starbucks. Partly influenced by the work of Martha Swartz (landscape architect).

A case where the colors came before the image. I saw these gold tones on dark blue with bright red in a magazine and had the idea of making a portrait with them. I’m not good at drawing people though, and I think it really shows in this. Still, I guess it’s good to try new stuff once in a while.

Illustrator brushes rarely, if ever, work well for me and to be honest I gave up on the lady rather than declaring her complete or anything.
