We set it upon ourselves to challenge each other to a weekly project to battle our creative inactivity. In turn, each person will decide on a topic of interest that together, we will individually tackle and hopefully produce illustrations of varying quality and some artistic merit. Feel free to join in.Simon Willsherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02606469251389093032noreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299198433572284331.post-27978550071766272782008-11-24T11:09:00.001Z2008-11-24T11:13:18.766Z<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AC_V6jYTxX0/SSqLpIuI2iI/AAAAAAAAAJo/fdZ4RELB5iQ/s1600-h/lifep.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AC_V6jYTxX0/SSqLpIuI2iI/AAAAAAAAAJo/fdZ4RELB5iQ/s320/lifep.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272179852622486050" border="0" /></a>Here is my 'Life' promo design. I went for a interesting looking design rather than something clever and informing. It isn't my original idea as that didn't really work during the process.<br />I didn't want to scrap this painting as I quite liked it. Also Damien Lewis' likeness isn't an easy one to capture and caused many alterations.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2299198433572284331-2797855007176627278?l=weeklyillustrations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gregory Stephensonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16664658303859709513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299198433572284331.post-41356532282103843492008-11-07T11:21:00.002Z2008-11-07T11:24:11.532Z<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AC_V6jYTxX0/SRQk9_Rn88I/AAAAAAAAAIY/vhD-fpMv5_k/s1600-h/whiey2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AC_V6jYTxX0/SRQk9_Rn88I/AAAAAAAAAIY/vhD-fpMv5_k/s320/whiey2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265874511678927810" border="0" /></a><br />This is my final image for the 'Inaugural Whitey Ford CD cover challenge'.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2299198433572284331-4135653228210384349?l=weeklyillustrations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gregory Stephensonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16664658303859709513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299198433572284331.post-32436409535601376072008-11-05T21:57:00.000Z2008-11-05T22:09:15.968Z<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HA47P2M7iUs/SRIZVfZrCGI/AAAAAAAAABk/s6XXWEMLjgQ/s1600-h/WhiteyPrep2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 144px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HA47P2M7iUs/SRIZVfZrCGI/AAAAAAAAABk/s6XXWEMLjgQ/s200/WhiteyPrep2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265298771346655330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HA47P2M7iUs/SRIZVaZ8PqI/AAAAAAAAABc/XM1-UQAwK_I/s1600-h/WhiteyPrep1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 161px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HA47P2M7iUs/SRIZVaZ8PqI/AAAAAAAAABc/XM1-UQAwK_I/s200/WhiteyPrep1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265298770005606050" /></a><br /><div>Just to prove I have been working on stuff (admittedly nowhere near as much as I should have been).<br /></div><div><div><br /></div><div>A few prep sketches for the Whitey Ford project.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2299198433572284331-3243640953560137607?l=weeklyillustrations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Simon Willsherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02606469251389093032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299198433572284331.post-86104358957652035002008-11-04T18:57:00.000Z2008-11-04T19:05:19.071Z<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AC_V6jYTxX0/SRCbO6niPHI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/Z1ne8fSIAio/s1600-h/life.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AC_V6jYTxX0/SRCbO6niPHI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/Z1ne8fSIAio/s320/life.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264878644951661682" border="0" /></a><br />The next project is to design a promotional poster for the NBC television serial, 'Life'. The premise of the show is that a policeman was wrongly charged and convicted for the murder of his friends. 12 years later, he is released and given a shed load of cash as compensation. He spends most of his money on fruit and cars.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2299198433572284331-8610435895765203500?l=weeklyillustrations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gregory Stephensonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16664658303859709513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299198433572284331.post-81204719513912727032008-10-24T15:12:00.000+01:002008-10-24T15:15:49.988+01:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AC_V6jYTxX0/SQHX-2Gf9DI/AAAAAAAAAII/eGKu1pQTKtw/s1600-h/whitey.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AC_V6jYTxX0/SQHX-2Gf9DI/AAAAAAAAAII/eGKu1pQTKtw/s320/whitey.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260723314420085810" border="0" /></a><br />This is my attempt so far at the Everlast album cover.
