Dave's iFriday: Buzz
Taking a Found Art Approach This Week
You'll have to forgive these old images looking small on today's desktop browsers. 500 pixels was considered pretty wide in 2007.
Tech Talk
Photoshop, scanner, Google Image Search
Art Speak
Sometimes, you don't have to draw a damn thing. This "found art" approach is a return to my art-school roots. Like most of my work of that period, I have no idea what this drawing actually means. It probably says more "coffee stain" than "buzz".
iFridaynista
All new art, a direct -- if somewhat addled -- response to the assignment.
iFriday Dave
Illustration Friday (IF, iFriday) was a weekly challenge to illustrate a one-word theme (wind, smoke, invention, etc.) globally announced on Friday nights. It was similar in spirit to Photo Friday, 24 Hour Comics, 48 Hour Films, and Sketchcrawl. Participants usually posted on their own blogs, then shared links to various iFriday boards. This is from my 2006-2007 participation.

January 8, 2007 at 10:20 PM Pretty creative and funny take! Always nice to see such contraptions...there is a guy on www.drawn.ca they posted in the past day or so that uses objects with his illos...there is a great Clint Eastwood up as a sample.

January 12, 2007 at 12:21 PM Just post anything, ignore the theme, that's my opinion. So there.

January 16, 2007 at 4:58 PM "Coffee House" is fantastic conveying so well the effect of one too many expressos. The brain is on fire while the reality of the background pales.

January 16, 2007 at 4:59 PM "Coffee Stain" for some reason is nostalgic reminding me of years in the 60s and 70s spent in coffee houses just kind of day dreaming or staring out at nothing or doing whatever instead of anything more demanding or responsible- mental doodling.
