INSECT (Illustration Friday)
Rather quick off the block SpiderFlies really rock For SpiderFlies Have curious eyes Causing quite a shock.
Tiny little insect I must summon I can't tell if you're a man or a woman.
This is hugely eye catching! Do you do an illustration every day? There's a whole bunch a colorful, quirky, captivating work since last week. You're one prolific homosapien:> How do you create these fabulous images - are they digital?
Hi Carla.. probably averaging 3 a week I think. Have the luxury of time at the moment which is a big help. Most images start not in my head but endlessly changing what's on the paper, then an idea might come in from somewhere. Can be quite random. These are colour pencil drawings which I rearrange in photoshop mostly with filters. Glad you like these things! ..::o
Dear Mushroom! This morning, ten fifty am Canadian Eastern time, I'm drinking a cup of tea! Earl Grey...HOT!. MMMMM I understand Jean-Luc! It smells soooo good! And I drink it in your honour (and a little bit for Hellcat too) :) Yes, the Borg has a soul.... ;o)
I feel as if I'm under the microscope with this one. Imagine being peered at like this. In your response to Carla you said you used P/shop filters, impressive results.
MerlinPrinter.... Earl Grey! I'm having Marks & Spencer Gold for a change this morning.. salut! (?) and Hellcat too. Liked your photo of the frozen building on fire on your blog.
Isay.. COMMIN' TO GET YOU! (The spiderfly, not me). Thanks.
Detlef.. it's just curious about your songs mate! I've discovered photoshop and I'm not coming out..
Hardwax.. glad you like the vibe, I am hooked on unsubtle colours at the moment, like the stained glass reference.
AndyDoodler/ Anonymous/ LobsterGooGaJoob.. I too can have my 'days' fighting the comment publishing thing! Glad you like the contents herein and hope you were'nt too bugged getting your comment published.

WOW! You really know how to capture the bug eyes! really wonderful colours and textures too!
Your spiderfly
Is one cool guy!
He looks quite sly
With his big green eye!
If the eyes are the mirror of the Soul, this spiderfly must have a very colorful personnality! Love it!
Spiderflies do Rock! And with all those arms and a guitar I bet the Spiderflies would really ROCK!
HELL YEAH!

Valgalart.. thanks. Think I had bug-eyes after some late nights!
Janet.. appreciate the rhyme, don't let the bugs bite!
MerlinPrincess.. it might have, but not as much as yours! Thanks coffee fiend. The Borg has a soul!
Unknown.. with your new Dangle Vision I should think EVERYTHING rocks! Hope you did'nt singe your eyes at Hellcat's.

amazing coloful spiderfly eyes! the texture is really great and when i clicked the image-seems it came out to look at me-too!

A pretty shock though, this thing reminds me of stained glas, marvelous colors and an alive feel to it.
Hey- love your art- words as well!
I'm on the right in the shell.
It's J. Lennon on the left -
I just weren't deft.
Does it bug you when people comment this way?
Anyway, your work is awsome- really creative and original- fun to look at and read.
Whoops- I didn't realize I had "anonymous" checked as an identity- I'm the lobster coo-coo-kachoo

You have a great eye for zany insect art! ;-)
Caroline.. Eye thank you.
Love the vibrancy of this!
The last line of that poem is just too funny--and I love your bug-eyed bug! The colors are titillating!
Very intriguing. I like it. I'm not sure why, but I like it nonetheless.
CreativeKismet, RozFoster, Don.. thanks for popping by and for your intiguing, vibrant and intrigung comments!

I meant 'titillating' instead of another 'intriguing.' Ah well..
Awesome hybrid bug! Thanks for sharing the creative process with us. Shades of genius in all your works. Peace to you.
Twisselman.. shades of shock! Thank you, I'm exploring a neglected part of the modroom and appreciate that very much. ...:::o
