Here is a snap shot of where I currently am with Jeff's Illo. We've moved forward, but only about an inch. Since Jeff is king, we brought in the whole "king of the mountain" shtick. And to play along with his intellectual prowess, we're using a chess piece for his house..... Tune in next week for the possible recreation of Jeff's torso.
Happy 4th Everybody

Milton Glaser put it best...he explained that an idea should start blurry (sketch) and slowly come into focus (final). Once we have the sketch complete, we begin our search for images and textures that we might apply to Jeff and his surroundings. Photos, engravings, scanned corn stalks are all fair game at this point. As we begin to gather "Stuff", we start loosely placing things into the illo. Lets throw some brains on the plants...how about some type? What's his cape texture? Those brains need something else....is his skin too light? I like the sketchiness of his face...maybe it should be a bit more polished?
PLEASE EXCUSE OUR MESS, WE ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Better late than never....We've been working on last week's challenge "Jeff" and we decided to record our process visually and verbally on our blog.
The first step...the concept. Lets see....Brain child? Interesting....lets go with that. We'll start with Jeff. Add some protective phalange coverings (aka sister's designer yellow mittens), a king's crown, some goofy teeth, a hero's cape (aka an old moth eaten table cloth found in one of grandma's antique rotting dressers), oh yes, and some weird brain foliage sprouting from Jeff's fertile noggin.

A cover for a book we created about the popular "Old Lady and the Fly" mystery. Cheers, Mutt Ink.
LOL! I'm staying tuned!
