IF:SNAP


Sir Edmund Wimple had always enjoyed a quiet Saturday afternoon of teasing baby dragons...'had' being the key word...

ON A RELATED NOTE: Congrats to Kiley ($36,000), Jessica ($28,000), and Jared ($23,250) for their scholarship offers! Also congrats to former student Tyler for getting 3 illustrations selected for a show at Columbus College of Art and Design as a Freshman.

Great take on snap! twig or branch was my first thought too. btw - loved watching your rhino come to life in your relief piece. Took a class in that (and sculpture) in university, love the depth & detail you can achieve with raised images. I think that's what I struggle with in my drawings, paper is so flat =)

The expression on the characters faces in your pieces are super, I can feel the emotion of each. Great dragon and funny post.

I was fascinated by the rhino in relief as well, and the finished piece is gorgeous. Great stuff!

Oh, thanks for reminding me of Hangem' High! (Have a bad memory...) Haven't seen The Outlaw Josey Wales so will be off to the video store then.

*Gnome-icide = very funny!

Nice work Blankenship. Your IF submissions are always clever. He is going to need a bigger sword. :)
I was late on if this week because I actually had some paying work to do - for a change. To be honest - I like my blue stuff better than my cartoony work. But I have gotten more interested feedback and jobs from customers and art directors with the new stuff. Thanks for giving my blog soo many interesting comments.

Nice Farside feel to this! Also, super job with the relief design piece. Your diversity of works keeps us coming back!
