So I was at the gym listening to Jay-Z…
And came up with this, instead of the fashion-y, poofy dress idea I had sketched out earlier. Which is good, as I think part of the fun of Illustration Friday is to do something unexpected with the subject.
I like how a lot of parts of this came out, but now that I’m looking at it– his eyes should be looking at us. Not off to the side. darn.
Regardless, its nice to just bang something out and not be too neurotic about it. You know?

I like the whole illustration, but especially the style and layering of the text. Good inspiration for a different take on “poof!”

I like the movement in it, the conjuring motion of the hands. Cool. (And the little vamoose).

Totally (about not being too neurotic). Dig the style. Nice lines.
