I am such a freakin' genius.

I had a sketch that I really liked and I wanted to transfer it onto black paper. But I couldn't use my light box because it's, well, black paper. So instead I scribbled on the back of the sketch with a white pencil, placed the black paper underneath, and traced over it with a ballpoint pen.

Oh, wait, you can't see it very well. Here's a better picture of the transferred image:

Anyway, that's all. Carry on, everyone.

Sleeping With the Fishes

So apparently this picture reminds everyone of a scene from Monty Python's "Meaning of Life." I've never seen it so I can't tell you which one; I just want everyone to know I didn't steal the idea and I honestly thought it was an original.
Every time I have a good idea, someone else always thinks of it first.
On a side note, I really like this technique of colored pencils on black paper. I think I may pursue it further.

Illustration Friday - "Dip"

Bah, I don't really like what my scanner did with this. Oh well.

Illustration Friday - "Rescue"

The first thing I thought of was "Rescue 911."
