random illustrator work w/ 2 interfaces

I was laid off from my job Wednesday, a reduction to the workforce due to the current economy was the reason.

Nothing personal, and I do not take it personal. I feel fortunate to have lasted through the two-three prior waves of lay-offs that my company had to do, my number just came up this time.

That said, I need a new job.

purposely maxed the level adjust

quick 15 minute job, so when scanned in... I blitzkrieg-ed the levels manually to bring out the subtle details as I was randomly grabbing pens from upstairs to color in downstairs on the kitchen table.
I think the tiger is torked I gave him a 'emo' blue eyeshadow make-up job. I don't blame him.

No, there is no time warp. The date of the picture says the 19th, and the posted date is the 9th. There was a black hole near by Earth at the time. I think that is the explanation but I am no astrophysicist. I am an artist.

2 week project from 2007

One man, one postcount

* from my 1991 sketchbook from college.

So many paths, so many threads, so many overlapping, so much chaos and so much order.

-social disorder in a population of individuals crossing at random time(s)

-hyperintelligence

-autism

-paths to heaven

-paths of strangers & family

I am a quirky duckie, this thing never seen in science, I like my roads of souls.
I am a ducky quirkie.

(I don't know a thing about autism & hyper-intelligence; I just think the path's of some are a little less direct and predictable.)

more scraps

not meant to look like a basket But it is a weave, so whatever...

apparently the 1990's were full of scraps of artwork for me.

The red ants below is a current thing, not from the 1990's, this is from the late 1980's, in a way sort-of.

Vacuums suck, voids suck, sudden complete absence of all matter sucks.

This is the end of my attempt at funny for today.

VACUUM, How-To survive living in a

Forgive me if I have posted these three works in progress before, I have a backlog and I forget what I have posted or not, but usually as a fact I do not post things I have not gotten done at least 75% of the way to get a jump on releasing to the world wide web something that does not have my name stamped on, not that any of these three does not have elements that are readily identifable or defendable as my art work, the more abstract works.

-------------------------

You are on a rock floating through space…

…Not just floating.
Roaring through the cosmos, a whirligig cradling the lives of over 6 billion people, screaming at over 65,000 mph, a hair’s breadth from being scorched by solar radiation or frostbitten by the cold void of empty space. Our lives here are granted by a thin layer of gases and the Earth’s own magnetic field, dancing on the razor edge between forces of destruction so relentless and potent that to call them elemental in nature would be to belittle them, comparing them to forces we can comprehend.
…and that is nothing less than extraordinary.

1991, part 2

This is very close to the original 1987-88 drawing, but bigger. I hope I can find the 1st instance in my papers...
