What is Art? Round Two

Art can be entirely simple or massively complex and deep. Art can come in the forms of a painting, a written piece of music, a 2100 ft building, etc. There is no strict criteria for art, as long as it carries some kind of expression, whether it be humor or drama, happiness or travesty. One should always have an open mind when experiencing art, because a lot could be overlooked or over-simplified (or the opposite). Art is a timeless form that will forever be advancing and offering people a mode of free expression.

I'm just going to leave this here...

I found this tad bit amusing.

BEARS: GODLESS KILLING MACHINES

This is basically my little tribute to Stephen Colbert and his deep-seated hatred for bears. This is how I'd imagine a poster for his campaign against those furry monsters would appear. I fear that not enough Americans truly understand the danger that they present for all of us. The message must be spread!

"I believe all God’s creatures have a soul… except bears, bears are Godless killing machines!" - Stephen Colbert

Vector (again?!)

Yes. I was just having a bit too much fun with this exercise. This time I decided to use the letter "j," because I mean, come on, it's an awesome letter. I just applied the 3D effect and added a drop shadow, along with some funky erasing.

Fun with Illustrator #2

A little less on track than the last example, but I did use the letter "c" for the cookie. I'm going to blame the fact that I know a lot of people who own Cookie Monster paraphernalia up the wazoo. The colours are appealing to me, as well. Or maybe I just watched too much Sesame Street as a child. Who knows.

Fun with Illustrator

This is my first attempt at getting to know Illustrator. The alligator (type thing) is actually an ampersand "&" and the birds are made from"{ }."
