Original Fiction Series: 3

Third in a series of illustrations for my upcoming ebook.  It's gonna be zoppity.

Piece created with acrylic and Painter 12.

Original Fiction series: 1

So I don't know how many of you know I am a writer as well as an artist.  I have been working on a collection of short stories to release on ebook and the time is coming near!  I am hoping to release my book by the end of the year and in the meantime, I have started to create illustrations for the project, one illustration per story for a least six stories.

Here is the first illustration:

 To read the story, stay tuned and get the book when it comes out.  It will be 99 cents, which is a smokin' deal, considering that I write really good stories.  Seriously.

Anyway, this illustration was created with acrylic, ink and Painter 12.

Tomato Soup

Ever wonder how Andy Warhol came up with his famous idea.  I don't mean the story we all have heard, how he stole the idea from someone else.  I just have this image in my head, of Warhol eating soup, in his pajamas and suddenly . . . a vision.

Tales from the Apocalypse

Conceptual illustration for an editorial article on the negative influence of employees being something that could destroy your business.  I like it because it's zombie-esque.  I like creepy things.

Steampunk Self Portrait

Self portrait with a hat, focus on the eyes.  Done in Painter 12, with Wacom Intuos 4.

Many Changes

Here is a conceptual illustration.  Concrete image for a fortune cookie phrase:

"You will make many changes before settling satisfactorily."

Two things:

1. I like how happy this fifties paper doll woman looks.

2. This is kinda self-portrait-ish.  Except for the fringed vest...

the end.

except, this is still a WIP.

Power

This is an image created to illustrate an abstract concept.  The abstract word: Power.  Get it?

Anyway, wouldn't it be funny if a little muscleman dude popped up in your lightbulb every time you flipped the switch?  Awesome.  Maybe it would play a song too, like ... We Will Rock You.

Reboot

So I originally intended this blog to be a daily sketch blog, even when I first created it back in 2007.  And I was pretty good for a while, and then it became a journal blog and then a rant blog and then it was just sad.  So I deleted it.  Everything.  Finally, a few weeks ago, I felt ready to unearth SomethingLikeArt and start up a daily sketch blog again.  BUT!  I am sketching all the time in my sketchbook and I don't have time to sketch on the iPad right now.  (Because I want to do all the daily sketch blog sketches digitally.)  SO!  This is going to be rebooted as my illustration blog.  I will post a gallery, my contact information and begin having regular posts about my adventures in illustration.  Now, for those who know me, it may seem excessive and a little redundant, because I have about a thousand blogs: Treading Words, Lee On Life, and DawgArt are the only ones semi-regularly updated.  And eventually, I'll stop posting on Lee On Life because it's a school blog and someday I'll be finished with school.  So then it will only be three... ish.

Daily Sketch #8

Painter 12.  I worked on this for a while, but since it's going to be changed after critique,

I'll post the WIP here.
