What if Shepard Fairey re-branded the Jolly Green Giant in the style of his OBEY Giant campaign? This was my thought process for this week’s Colour Collective challenge with the color prompt of Leaf Green. It’s a bit more on the tongue in cheek side than my usual illustrations, but since the post date for this was April Fools Day I thought it might be appropriate.

Late Night Reading
My entry for this week’s Colour Collective challenge with the color prompt of Mars Violet. Sometimes you get sucked into a good book late at night and just can’t stop reading. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]
The World Is Watching
This is my GIF for the Colour Collective challenge with the color prompt of Serenity. This was my first try at a multi-frame GIF so figuring out the various software I could use to stitch the images together took some time. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date.

Worm Detected
Pale Geranium Lake was the color prompt for this week’s Colour Collective challenge. I started with the phrase “worm detected” and the idea for the illustration followed from there. I didn’t intend this as some kind of statement about apple computers, but I see how some people might get that idea. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]
Sunny Side
Here is an illustration for this week’s Colour Collective challenge with the color prompt of Dandelion. I thought drawing the egg would be the easiest part of this illustration, but it turned out being deceptively hard. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]
Moss
My entry for this week’s Colour Collective challenge with the color prompt of Moss. This is a drawing of Richard Ayoade who played the character Moss on the TV show the IT Crowd. Considering the Colour Collective challenge is based in Brittan I thought for sure that there would be several people who’d also illustrate the character for this challenge, but oddly I was the only one.

Blast Off
This week’s illustration for the Colour Collective challenge with the color prompt of Cool Grey II. I enjoyed playing with all the texture in the background on this one. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]
Milk Break
Deep Napels Ochre was the color prompt for this week’s Colour Collective challenge. I was playing with some different techniques for illustrating fur in this one. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]
This Day Is Really Draggin’
Here is an illustration for this week’s Colour Collective challenge with the color prompt of Deep Lilac. I felt like drawing a dragon for this and threw in a bit of a pun for the title. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]
The Tortoise & The Hare At The Yoga Studio
My entry for this week’s Colour Collective challenge with the color prompt of Viridian. The original title for this one was “Aesop’s Yoga Studio.” (I’m still partial to that title actually.) If you’re curious, yes, the rabbit pose and tortoise pose do really exist. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]
