Illustration Friday: Total...

"Here at the edge of the world, the lovers attempted to total the stars."

For this week's theme, I decided to merge my painting and collage sentiment a little more. I started off building up a ground of collage, then I painted (faux-fresco style) the figures. I did it pretty quick... so it's a little rough round the edges. Hope you all enjoy.

  11. Thanks for all the comments! It's totally inspiring.

    To answer an anonymous emailed question... NOPE, the pieces in the up-coming show don't look like this in the slightest. Here and there you'll see some similarities, but Illustration Friday (when I have time to do it) is a nice challenge and diversion from my regular work. Sometimes they over-lap, but more often than not... they are completely separate.
