Pomegranate and... Green Pepper?



Here is a pomegranate and a green pepper drawn in red. I know, I'm smarmy. These are both pretty small, more intimate pieces. I'm trying to explore more inking approaches and have been drawing a lot of my favorite fruits and vegetables lately, probably in connection with my becoming a vegetarian. This is in response to Terri's foliage type piece again.

Feathers from Roxanne Wang!



Red Masked Parrots and A Wood Duck from Roxanne Wang in response to all of the landscape and animal related pieces thus far!

Mountainscape


From Spencer, this piece is in response to Dennis' Badlands piece. I love rocky landscapes and all of the strange geometric shapes they create.

Work from Scott K


In response to Spencer's Cowboy Remembrance piece that was based on old ranch hands and farmers that died in the war, here is a war based piece of a soldier in a gas mask making their way through the toxic trenches.

In response to Karyl's starting piece, the mohawk on the helmet was reminiscent of good old Mr. T's mohawk, and thus here is this piece depicting characters from the A-Team!

Spencer's snowy piece reminded Scott of his interest in graphic novel characters and this series of pieces about the Weatherman!


And, a bit looser of a relation, Terri's piece was reminiscent of a green walk through the park, so here is an editorial based illustration of a child and his father walking through the park as the reflection in the water reveals a little bit of what the child sees.

The Bad Lands



Two amazing landscape illustrations for the show from Dennis Budgen. Dennis has been a professional illustrator and instructor at the Alberta College of Art and Design for many years now.

These are both framed together in this order, one on top of the other, and the 2nd image isn't as good a quality as the first due to the reflections from the glass when I took the photo. Come see it, and all of the amazing work featured on this blog live to remedy that!

The Converging Conversations show will be on Saturday, the 3rd of October at 7PM at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery in Dawson Creek, BC!

Train Tracks



A piece for the show from Hilary and Tyler Jenkins entitled "Train Tracks"
