Zombie in Disguise

I drew this fluoro zombie so i could be apart of the weekly challenge on a website called illustration friday. Someone suggests a topic and then people do some art about the topic and then put it up on the website. This is my first submission and thought it would be a bit of fun. I've been in the mood for drawing fluoro zombies lately so i thought i would draw one with a little disguise on. My illustration shows that the disguises people wear can sometimes (or most times be pretty crappy). For example, who is this zombie fooling with that disguise, he's a fluoro zombie for goodness sake, he would need a bag over his head to disguise his ugly melon. That being said, his disguise is not as crappy as superman's. Taking your glasses off and brushing your hair is not a disguise. I dunno who he is fooling but i guess the locals in metropolis are pretty dopey. Unfortunately half way through my drawing i realised my error in using green paint. He looks like a crappy interpretation of a teenage mutant ninja turtle (TMNT). I call him Picasso.

Owl

This is a picture i painted of an owl. When Pearl sees it she says 'toot toot'.
I wrote a poem from the perspective of the owl.

I'm an owl, in the darkness i prowl
I love to eat meat, that's my kind of feast
When i grab some mice they usually die of fright
When i see a mouse that's when i pounce
My eyes are lazy but my neck is crazy
It turns 270 degrees up in them trees
When i hang with my buddies people call us a study

The end

A group of owls is also called a parliament or a wisdom. I thought that was interesting but found it too hard to incorporate into the poem. If you can rhyme that little tidbit drop me a line and ill add it into the poem.

Mr Monster man hanged from the cloud and got zapped in the noggin!

This is a drawing i did of Mr Monster man hanging from a cloud but the cloud got really angry (as you can see from his eyes which are tilted inwards) and decided to zap him on the noggin with some high voltage electricity. Now this really stung Mr Monster man and you can see he is not really having much fun in this instance but he is determined to hold on so he didn't let go. Maybe he was hitching a ride somewhere on the cloud and floated up to the currents high in the atmosphere and if he let go he would fall to the ground with a great big thud and maybe sprain his ankle. Pearl drew the little monster man in the corner. She has some talent.

Mr Shooting Starman

This is Mr Shooting Starman I drew for our film clip for the song Shooting Star which Anna is making.

Here's a link to the song if you want to download or listen to it.

I like the look of him because he has a crazy gleam in his eye and has a bow tie and curly shoes. There's not enough curly shoes out there for my liking. The bow tie gives him a formal look while the baseball cap (he wears backwards to give him some street cred) adds a casual juxtaposition to his whole look. He brings it all together by ensuring his accessories are all a matching red colour. You will also notice he has black and white stripped socks. These socks along with the curly shoes you might recognize from the major motion picture titled 'The Wizard of Oz'. In the movie they made you think it was the Wicked Witch of the West which got squashed by the flying house after the tornado. It was actually Mr Shooting Starman which got caught up in the storm and squashed. He had a lengthy stay in hospital and 2 years of gruelling re-hab before he could take to the skies again. He has never been happier, which you can see by the big smile on his happy face. I applaud you Mr Shooting Star for overcoming your obstacles and living your dream!
