Bad Art I Am Compelled To Share

Night


This is my picture for Illustration Friday. I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this picture. I've used it in three different projects now. Originally it was drawn with pastel crayons. Then I fiddled with it in photoshop and added a moon. To get the full emotional impact from this picture, please view the illustration with your eyes closed.
Hmm...

    time warped floating thru shadows
    moonlight turns to dust

  • (Pois, agora é que me tramaste, não tenho jeito nenhum para a poesia, muito menos em inglês, apesar de ser um desfio interessante. Agora também te faço um desafio a ti, e o desafio é, traduzires o que eu escrevi neste comentário.Em relação à ilustração acho que está bastante interessante, e gosto. Beijos)

    Love :-)

  • slowly passing by
    and giving radiant light
    would it stay or stopped
    for sometime....
    darkness is for the night
    wherein i won't beseen
    in this crowded and
    shaded areas of the forest.

  • Day becomes night
    The moon is hung up high
    Time to crawl under
    the star filled sky

    Ended up more like a poem. Great illo all the same.

    Oh -- geeez. I just realised that those are trees, not mushroom clouds. It doesn't matter -- you still rock. :) love

  • Spooky trees--very nice.

    By Blogger Tony Sarrecchia, at 07:37  

  • There was an old man from haiku
    Who couldn't speak much like you
    So he said it in ways
    That sounded like praise
    For unusually good bad art - thank you

    Love

    and besides, its' a beauty, this re- and reused picture of yours... :)

    By Blogger vfm4, at 03:30  

  • That's a cool picture, those trees, I like them!

    I agree with your girlfriend about the other one, though you did a fantastic job on the paper. I'd say you must have too much time on your hands, but that would be mean, LOL! (making paper?)

    Those trees and the moon are great though. :-)

  • Sorry i can't do haiku's
    but I love how you did your trees ;)
    love

    By Blogger Unknown, at 06:50  

  • Dearest Unknown,

    No hiaku for you but how about a silly limerick?

    There once was an artist unknown
    who spent one night alone
    drawing tall dark trees
    while scratching his fleas
    because he let too many cats in his home.

    With much Love,

    Fifi

  • Haikus I dislike
    although for you i will try
    To leave haiku love.

    oh...and i LOVE the chalk-crayon tree picture. i think it's my favorite so far.

    By Blogger Nikki Moore, at 07:35  

  • Hello my red hot lover, I'm so disappointed that this is late in getting to you, but better late than never. I hope you like it.

    This is from my haiku site...

    Nightsounds like music
    are wrapped up in humid air
    you leave me breathless

    This haiku came to me one night while sitting on my yard swing. The night was so hot and humid I could hardly breathe and the katydids were making their own kind of music which was almost deafening. They would all get together making their shrill sounds, then all of the sudden they would just stop, total silence, then they'd start once again, sounding like nature's own concert.

    Love as always,

    Sandy

    By Blogger Sandy, at 16:13  

  • haiku sounds to me
    like mental patient rambling
    and true love to you

    aaaah...such a masterpiece. I'm sure my college english professors are so proud right now. Yes, well anyway, this friendly little post is just to let you know that you have been declared the "winner" of my halloween prank...if you'd like to claim your "prize" (a whole book of my haiku?), send your address to my email (on my blog). toodles...

  • Wow! Unusual piece there. Pastels. Now, that is an unfamiliar medium for me. How long did it take you to do that?

    By Blogger Chuang Shyue Chou, at 17:26  

  • Simple but effective, and it works nearly as well upside down!

    By Blogger Ian T., at 23:42  

  • It's deceptively simple. But when I look at the tree trunks, they have depth and character which you've caught with few lines and subtle shading. Really impressive, and easy to overlook. Nicely done!

    By Blogger Aravis, at 23:54  

  • Hi!very beautiful!!

    By Blogger manomecchi, at 07:24  

  • chuang shyue chou:
    it took few minute

    upside down is cool
    I should have drawn a mirror
    your idea was better
