Godzilla,Russia,Adidas

This is the latest three word assignment that Edowyn gave me. I almost forgot that these were about having fun and breaking away from our usual drawing habits and themes. When i remembered, this is what came out.

Cars, Bars, Guitars

Another drawing assignment given by Tom PItilli, this one was Cars, Bars, Guitars. This was just a sketch that I colored in, going for a more spontaneous result.

Herge

Here is something I ran across in the New York Times
A Congolese student has initiated legal action in Belgium to have the 1931 comic book “Tintin in the Congo” declared racist and removed from bookstores, Reuters reported. “It’s racist, and it is filled with colonial-era propaganda,” said the student, Mbutu Mondondo Bienvenu, who lives in Brussels. He is also seeking symbolic damages of one euro ($1.38) from Moulinsart, a company that owns the rights to Tintin but does not publish the comic. Belgian prosecutors said a judge’s decision on proceeding with Mr. Bienvenu’s motion could take six months. A spokesman for Moulinsart said: “The book dates back to 1931 and has to be seen in the context of the time. We are surprised to see this complaint after so many years.” Some stores in Britain and the United States have moved the book from their children’s shelves to the space for adult graphic novels. This year is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Georges Remi, the writer and artist who created the popular series under the name Hergé.

FORK, AMERICA, MONEY

Yep, this is the next one...I'm not TOO crazy about the drawing, but here it is.

Clowns, City, Snow

Here is the three word assignment given to me by Edowyn. I tried to approach the coloring more like a silkscreen, limiting myself to a few colors. The idea behind these 'assignments' were to get each other out of our comfort zones, drawing things we might not otherwise draw on our own. This was good for me, 'cause clowns totally freak me out and i can't remember the last time i drew one. There is a nice surprise factor in free associating with arbitrary words, you never know what yr gonna get...
