Illustration Friday:Fail

The United States airline industry has to feel like failures this week. Between canceled flights, bankruptcies and prolonged inspections, I’m wondering what my next flight experience will be like.
This illustration is rendered in Adobe Illustrator.
I am part of the Madison Park Church of God Writers’ Group. I just posted an announcement on the site about an upcoming writers conference.

This is the spring conference for the Indiana Chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. I’m going to attend. Maybe I’ll see you there too.
When I heard this week’s word, it made me think of all the talk I’ve heard about saving money. People say we are in a recession now. It’s time to save that money, whether or not it falls from the sky.
metaHatem : where hatem rambles & sketch: homage
I found this great link from an Egyptian born illustrator. The illustration reminded me of an old toy firetruck my grandfather had. We played on that rusty thing for hours.
This is a great illustration because Hatem uses texture to give it an organic feel. I was surprised this is a digital illustration.
Photoshop Happy Accident Funky Pattern
Here is a little surprise I thought was so cool I needed to share it (and therefore, file it away for future reference).
I was designing and illustrating a children’s place mat. There was an area I wanted to knockout with soft white. I took this art from Illustrator to Photoshop because I needed to apply some random texture to the blue. I wanted the white edge to be extremely soft, but I was getting a strange pattern.
