Illustration

This is my latest illustration “UFO Burger” about the future of food production.

This illustration was inspired by Paul Watson’s on-going struggle against illegal whaling. Paul Watson was born in Toronto, Canada, and was one of the co-founders of Greenpeace.

Happy New Year Everyone! Here is the final illustration that I’ve been working on of the three ladies.

View work in progress here.

Here is the fourth sculpted illustration for the on-going “My Woodland, My Nightmare” series. It is titled “When Giants Meet”

This is the sculpted piece for the “When Giants Meet” illustration.

Here is the third illustration in the on-going ” My Woodland, My Nightmare” series, it is titled “From the Ground up”. Shown is what lurks beneath the suburbs built over the site of once tall forests, here nature finds away through the concrete slab.

Above is the sculpture made for “From the Ground up”. It was made from a combination of apoxie, polymer clay, synthetic fur and leather, foam and rocks .

A photograph of the sculpture was composited in Photoshop to create the final illustration.

“Out on a Limb” is the second illustration for the “My Woodland, My Nightmare” series. This piece continues the themes started with  Burden to Bear, which I posted last month. Further works in the series are  to be posted soon!

Shown above is the sculpture made for “Out on a Limb”. The owls were made from a combination of apoxie, polymer clay, synthetic fur, and the base is solid oak.

A photograph of the sculpture was then composited in Photoshop to create the final illustration. The desolate forest background is a picture from my trip to the Rockies in the summer. The picture is of Kootenay National Park in British Columbia. In the summer of 2003 lightening caused a forest fire to the already dry forest. It burned for 40 days, over an expanse of 170 square km (12% of Kootenay National Park). The area is known to have problems with the Redwood Bark Beetle, a parasite which attacks weak trees. The trees die and are then easily prone to catching fire. The area was just beginning to recover when I was there.

A few weeks ago I posted pic’s of a bear character that I was working on. Here is the final illustration for it. It’s the first in a series titled “My Woodland, My Nightmare”.

More to come!

O.K . So here it the final illustration for Wilhelm the Flying Whale.

I also have a little story that I wrote for it:

In Wangerland, a small town in Northern Germany, there is talk of a dark shadow in the sky. It is said to be larger than any structure known to man. They call this shadow Wilhelm the flying whale.  It is believed that Wilhelm in an attempt to get away from whalers swam so hard and so fast that he went through the earth, flying into the sky on the other side. Unable to return to the oceans Wilhelm haunts the sky and brings darkness to any land he passes.

I hope you all enjoy it.
