This is wonderful. This whole image is done out of type to create the illusion of the jokers face, and what better way to do it than using one of his most famous lines. I find the check/jaw line is even done out of a HA to surround all of the other HAHA as the yellow teeth. This example also shows how much color can effect a piece as well.

This is great. once you become good at something why not push yourself and do something that is not typical like using a different medium for your work. In this case it was done on Styrofoam cups. It makes the art look that much more unique and original and differently an eye catcher. I feel like this guy could sit in a coffee shop all day drawing on peoples cups.

One day I wish I could open up my own sketchbook and have some examples like this to show. I know there already is a couple people in class that resembles this type and I could spend a lot of time looking thru theirs. It seems like every time I start to draw lines it ends up as just that... lines. I hope I can start to turn my lines into images like the examples shown here

This reminded me of the blend exercise we did in class with the computer mouse. After doing that exercise I now realize how fairly simple it is to design something like this in Illustrator I like this step by step example that you can follow along and get an idea of how it is done without all the descriptions.

Chalk are out in the public. I wish I could see a piece like this when I was walking down the street. It would differently put a smile on my face. It is very clever and well done and at the same time this one is telling a story that grabs your attention and keeps you focused longer. The only down side is this is gone on the next good rain.

This is a great example of positive and negative space to form into legs both female and male. I like how the men's leg are in black as if he was wearing a suite and the women white giving the feeling she could be wearing a dress with bare legs showing. Im not sure where a pice like this could be used all I can think of is mabey a musical/Broadway poster. but overall a very clever idea.

I know I have already done a bar code on this blog but they still are some of my favorite and I hope I get the chance to design one some day. I wish we could see more of these on existing products at the store. this one makes great use of the lies turning into noddles as the fork picks it up.

This is a very simple but well thought out line illustration that shows to faces that overlap. It is great how the lines work very well with each other to get the end result and if you look close you will notice that it is only two continues lines in the whole thing that goes off the edges. very well done.

This is an example of sidewalk/chalk/art. A lot of the images i have seen are made to look 3 and realistic but only works from one angle and takes up so much space which turns out great, but with this one you could almost look at it from anywhere walking by and it would still work. I wish I was as creative as some of these people that see something as a light and sees another image it could turn into. 

Again with simple line that make shapes. I found this a nice simple clean image of two whales that is well balanced. it has smooth lines with a couple sharp point.  I like that the line spacing and thickness to  the lines that make the shading.  

I saw this Illustration and it reminded me of the exercise we where working on in class. It is 2D and you can see light and dark with the simple colors of blue and yellow I also like the illusion of the very long shadow on the person on the sidewalk making it look realistic 

I found this image on Pinterest. I found this a very clever way to use a barcode instead of the traditional way. You could only use this technique with certain images but i find that it works great with the zebras striped legs

I wound this magazine cover that has a mix of photo and illustration together. It is very clever with the head missing but all kinds of things coming out but the sunglasses are right where they would be if the head was there which i feel balances the piece nicely.

Feature illustration for Evansville Living Magazine. This piece includes iconic elements referencing multiple stories within the magazine. Each graphic can be pulled from this main composition and used throughout the articles as spot illustrations

I really enjoy the fact that you can show as much detail in your illustration with just simple black lines and curves. In this image you can see the depth as well which really ads to a better peace
