Bad Art I Am Compelled To Share

Insect (Bush-Fly)

This is my picture for Illustration Friday. The theme is insect. "Insect" was drawn on two scraps of multi-purpose copy paper that I taped together because I ran out of room on the first piece. I did this sketch with a pencil and discovered I couldn't fill it in with my gel roller because the detail was too fine. AAARRRGGG. I colored it and cleaned it up with Photoshop. This illustration took most of my free time today. Leaving me no time to catch up on my blog. Sorry Loves! I know I'm falling behind. I'll catch up this weekend!

Good old GW wants to be a fly on the wall in every home. Quick! Someone get a fly swatter!

Please leave me some love.

P.S. I just made a new Bad Art button if anyone wants to become a Red Hot Lover!
Isn't it cute!

  • One Presidential Fly on a Wall is far to inneficient. You need a swarm. Of course, you need to make some Laura & Barbara Bush-flies so they can breed...
