Hey Diddle Diddle! The cow… um… the cow… okay, this has got to stop.
I did this illustration for Illustration Friday’s moon theme on August 17th to catch up with some missed illustrations but dated the post earlier to keep the themes in order on this blog. 5 minute drawing, 30 minute PhotoShop.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? / Thou art more lovely and more temperate. / Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, / And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. / Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, / And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; / And every fair from fair sometime declines, / By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d; / But thy eternal summer shall not fade / Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; / Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade, / When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: / So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, / So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. – Shakespeare

Two Illustration Friday themes for the price of one! Geek and Discovery! Here we find our little geek buddy, Linus Snodgrass, discovering girls in the form of Sue Bella, the leader of the debate club for Filbert Middle School. Linus is keeping his Dungeons and Dragons team waiting while Sue gets his opinion on how a tesseract might be used to manipulate space for hyper-travel. Hilarity ensues!

Oliver Twist does The Twist! Fagin on the squeezebox and The Artful Dodger claps along, Oliver shows his friends he knows a jig or two. The Illustration Friday theme this week is Twist and my first thought was just the Dickens! The musical is a lot of fun but I highly recommend reading Dicken’s book. The real character study here was Fagin – Dickens describing a world where a desperate thief and “kidsman” takes better care of orphans than the government orphanages. Dickens raised a lot of awareness of the plight of poor children and social injustice in the mid-19th century. This illo was 30 minutes drawing, 5 hours PhotoShop.
