Patterns/wallpaper 2- Philip A. Buck

CLICK TO ENLARGE!

Just a little experiment with pattern and wallpaper making. A very very rough piece, but it was fun!

You draw something (I drew a lil man,) and then cut it into four pieces.  Then tape or glue the pieces on a piece of paper diagonal from their previous spot and draw more (I drew random junk.) All this can be done digitally as well. Then put it together on the computer! MAGIC!

Return of the KETCHUP WEEK!

It is Ketchup Week(s?) again here on the NEEDS MORE BLUE! That means all of our participating artists will have time specifically set aside to get caught up on any past topics/themes they didn't get to post for or any they want another go at.  So, my artistic friends, let the KETCHUP BEGIN! (again.)

Heat- Philip A. Buck

When I saw that this week was "heat" I thought it very convenient because the illustration I am working on for The Amplifier is also about heat.  Here is the work in progress. -a simpler, more design-y one this time as apposed to the usual drawing heavy illustration I do for the paper. To see the final image, look for next month's issue anywhere on the streets of Knoxville or keep your eyes on my website. :)

Heat!

Ok, so it is incredibly hot here in Texas (today it got to 105) and I'm sure it's pretty warm where y'all are too, so my theme for this week is heat. I figured that I would leave it pretty general so that it would leave lots of room for creativity. :) I hope that everyone is doing great!

Reimagining a Classic in a Medium that You're Uncomfortable With- by Philip A. Buck

This is my reimagining of a panel from this Classic Peanuts strip by the legendary Charles Schulz. Here you can see the original panel. (click any image to enlarge.)

I took a cue from the awesome Jared Andrew Schorr, and worked with cut paper which is not my strongest media. Here is the resulting image from my initial attempt to scan the peice and correct it in photoshop. Still seems too harsh.

Well, I hope you friends dig it! Great theme! Great fun (give it your own go!)

-Philip

Update: I had figured this peice could be used to "kill two birds with one stone" and also submitted it to the REPANELED blog.  Surprise! It was accepted and is now featured on the site here!

This week's theme chosen by Daniel is....

 ....Re-imagining a Classic in a Medium That You're Uncomfortable With!!!
