Illustrating the Truth

The Truth

Afishionados,

I’m taking a class on Adobe Illustrator and today we had to create a project that essentially involved “cutting out objects” within basic shapes. Eventually, we’ll be doing a complete paneled piece, and today’s goal was to create something that you could use for your final work.

My selected theme is the Iraqi war because it’s controversial and everyone else is doing music, movies, nature, or something stupid and I wanted to be different. I’m pretty sure that the teacher is a fan of ol’ Dubya, too, which makes it even better.

Here’s what I came up with this afternoon. I like it and I think it came out pretty well. Sorry for the watermark, but I don’t want people stealing it and using it on their web sites or something without my permission. I think I’ll even be able to use parts of this in the final panel piece towards the end of the quarter.

    HTGT: Well, I don’t think that my professor is the best Illustrator teacher, but I’m not so sure I’d call her an idiot per se.

    I’m sure if your teacher is a Bush fan, she’s going to give you an A for this!

    Sara Sue: You can’t take points away from the truth.

    AngryCumGuzzlingKnobJockey: All great artists are misunderstood in their time. You are just misunderstood and nobody loves you.

    Cash: Grass? I thought this post would want to make you eat bush.

    Teq: If he gets a woody can he be your new room mate?

    PrePo: Yea, I thought it would look good on a shirt, but I don’t know if CafePress and the like will print a swastika. I might check into it.

    I’ve heard the Nazi analogy before. Nicely done. Looks like you are getting pretty decent with Illustrator.
