I have to note that the background for this image is taken from a photograph of a mosaic I worked on in Redfern last year with kids from the local school - slightly manic but lots of fun..refreshing!
Haha! Crazy straws, fantastic! Love that stained glass kinda texture in the background from the mosaic, the colors a tad more subdued so it stays back. Such bright and summery kids, and in great shoes. :)
...and Claire, how're you liking the new IF? I can't say I like it just yet. It prompts less clicks to the participants website and so probably less comments unless your illo just draws someone in immediately. and i can no longer upload from my iPad...:(
Yeah, I certainly not crazy about it...took ages to load and I ended up using my blog reader for the first time to find my old favourites (like Michele Thomas!) There's a bit of a discussion going on their site you might want to have a look and comment http://illustrationfriday.com/2012/06/welcome-to-the-new-illustration-friday/
This is so satisfying psychedelic and bizarre - like a freaked out seventies TV commercial for softdrink or something - love it! The straw concept in particular, is inspired, and the mosaic background really adds to the whole thing.
Haha looks refreshing!!..Could they be more refreshed if their straws weren't joined?...still someone will end up more refreshed than the other!!!
ReplyDeleteHah! So cool this is! Love the background too!
ReplyDeleteReally fun, Claire! I love the straw and mosaic background. Well done!
