Here is my entry for this weeks Illustration Friday. The word this week was lush, and the first thing I thought of was a mustache and I went with it. And for further inspiration, I chose to put it on my loose interpretation of Bill Murray. I hope you enjoy.
This mornings music mix consisted of Radiohead, Daft Punk, OFF!, The Hives, Jay-Z, and Fugazi. It got my brain percolating. I wanted to make a poster. First I found some images, drew them up in ink. I threw them into photoshop, and with a little Wacom magic, whala! It's fun making posters for bands who don't need them.
Nope--I definitely like the pencil drawing better. It's WAY more interesting. Do you want to know why? In the pencil drawing, the guy's eyes were assymmetrical in a very interesting way. These ones are nearly symmetrical. The other guy has a big droopy old-person ear. This one has gotten all small and "nice". It's not the cartooning I have a problem with, but the loss of the details that make him unique. This could be anyone (with a mustache like that), but the other one was a very particular person.
