Illustration Friday: Phobia


My drawings have grown too predictable lately. I wanted to experiment this time by getting back that spontaneity that my artwork has been lacking. I was inspired by vegetarians and what they must be thinking when they see carnivores gorging down a slab of meat.

I painted it in color but it turned out way too gory then expected. The meat just turned out a beat red and it wasn't funny anymore, just gross! So I desaturized the color a tad in Photoshop and got the effect and humor I was looking for. Enjoy. Doesn't it just want you to go out and slam down a big juicy 10-ounce? Yummy. Mmmm Mmmm Good!

Love this one!! You have got a great line quality that is so expressive! Did you do this with that Pelikan 120? Nice.

That's a good one Vern....I worked with some vegans too and they once told me that if they smell meat, they get nauseous.
