I love to just play on illustrator when I get a space minute or two. These are some of the results, usually based on whats in the news at the time. I'm a big admirer of Stanley Chow's illustrations and some of these are from when I thought I'd give myself a weekend to play around with his style.
And like good old Bob Ross used to say - "We'll just give him a friend over here"...
I'm never shy of spending an hour or two just playing around on illustrator. I love it though when that hour or two has a purpose. I often design my own books via the guys at the amazing Blurb (check it out if you havent already) featuring my travel photography. Below are some examples of illustrations for a project based on California and one for the Marrakech travel industry. For actual photos from my various planet explorations, feel free to check them out on my main page.
