Election Day 2008


Election Day 2008, originally uploaded by speartoons.

This morning did live up to the hype where I voted. I never saw lines that big in my town for Election Day.

I’m glad people are taking their responsibility seriously this year. That is a silver lining to the financial mess and all the mudslinging we’ve endured.

I drew this in my sketchbook with a ballpoint pen. I added the color in Photoshop.

Happy Halloween. I took yesterday’s sketch and turned it into a digital image.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator.

Trick or Treat!

The trick-or-treaters will be coming tomorrow. Are you ready? I thought of a clown as the main character because I’ve known a few friends who are not afraid of any characters… except clowns.

I drew this in my sketchbook with a mechanical pencil.

One week to Election Day!

From my sketchbook, 0808, page 130.

I can’t wait for the election to be over. The ads are running fast and furious. Everybody is saying how awful their opponent is. Is there anything good to say? will everybody be able to kiss and make up once this is all over? I sure hope so.

Illustration Friday: Repair


Illustration Friday: Repair, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Drawing for Illustration Friday’s word: "Repair." Frankenstein tries to repair the monster. The monster isn’t thrilled about the ideal.

I used this illustration to experiment with using flat shading and no lines. I also made liberal use of layer masks in Adobe Illustrator to use the shading in the shadows.
