Daily Creativity is a project started back in 2010, quick art projects that sometimes develop into something bigger.
When I think of an Egret, I think of my Mom, my Mom and her best friend FV. I drew this today because as I sat down to draw today I saw a hat, with the logo of their boat that I designed over a decade ago, out of the corner of my eye… so I free handed and Egret. Living in Canada I miss them both, so this was nice to draw today.
It might be hard to see in the scan, but the Egret is silver and the beak and feet is gold.
It came from a joke, not sure how it started, we were up WAY too late and somehow I got it into my head to draw kermit as Che Guevara. Kermit is always awesome, as all Muppets are, Che, well he’s a symbol some people think of when they think revolution, and his image is something hipsters wear to try and impress on others that they are edgy and counter culture. For some reason the mashup of these two icons amused me to no end.
I do remember saying “You don’t understand man! Kermit was there, Man! He was there in the swamp, he made that rek to Hollywood, he took Manhattan, he was there man!”
Ahhh late night fun.
(EDIT: I changed the posting time cause I can do that :P)
I have an art project done for today (saturday march 19) but I haven’t scanned it yet. It came from a late night joke and it’s really late right now so rather than watch the sun rise I’m going to bed. I’ll scan it tomorrow.
Hints: it’s a mashup of something truly awesome and something hipsters tend to “think” is awesome. It’s in color (color pencils FTW!) and fun :)
See you tomorrow
Today’s drawing is inspired by the famous VJ Day kiss image, well actually by the one with a storm trooper, but I didn’t draw the storm trooper, but the classic one. There’s something about this image that intrigues me. While it boasts the happiness of victory that I will never know, it’s iconic and speaks to me. I love seeing all of the incarnations of this image, one of my favorites is from The Watchmen when The Silhouette replaced the Navy man :)
What else could I draw on St. Patrick’s Day, also more well known as Dragon Appreciation Day, but my favorite dragon in the whole world, Rory :) Notice he is wearing a shamrock shirt, to reward myself for drawing the little dude I’m enjoying a shamrock shake, these things rule.
