Illustration Friday - Shakespeare's Chimp

So the topic this week for Illustration Friday is Skull. I don't really have a reason for this image, other then the fact that it's a skull. That's being held by a chimpanzee. I thought of it while at church. Not that I think there is some connection between being in church and an ape holding a human skull. But I do think that my subconscious has a really good idea going here and it really wanted to get it out in the open. I don't have a meaning for it yet, but I would like to hear what you think, so leave a comment!

My newest toy

Product plug. This little gizmo is something I've been waiting for a few weeks to get. It makes tea and has a clever name. Its the way it makes tea that's special. Theres plenty of room for the tea leaves to expand and release more flavor. The test tea is a rooibos strawberry pepper we bought in Scottsdale, Az. Brewed in a tea ball the pepper and strawberry flavors were hidden. This time I can taste the strawberry and pepper and the overall flavor is much stronger. The best part is that the filter catches all the drifters who usually escape with a traditional tea ball. Go tea!

Somethings that are in the works

Good news everyone! I'm ready and am now making a new posting for your viewing and reading pleasure. I've been lax in my postings lately. This time though, it's not been because of any visual distractions (for awhile I was catching up on the last 5 seasons of Lost...I sort of spaced out for a couple of months) or recent family reunions. I haven't posted because I've actually been working on artwork! Am I amazing or what? The projects undertaken have been for both fun and profit. The fun stuff is what I'm going to show off. Now, I'm not done with any of them, these are works in progress, so be kind.

The first one I'm doing as fan art for the series of podiobooks called Heaven, written and narrated by Mur Lafferty. She's an awesome author and has many many podcasts to be found at her site. Heaven is about a couple of friends that end up kicking the bucket and travel through the different parts of the after life. I've taken the liberty to illustrate one of the cities from season 5, Lathe. It's full of tinkerers and madmen.

The second image is an idea I've had for awile and is totally my own self promotion for self promotion's sake. Now that you know what I'm working on, feel free to bug me about seeing the final projects.

Oh, I forgot one other thing, I've started a flickr art page, check it out be clicking here.
