disguise

While hurricane Irene is on its way, I decided not to panic but instead create this week's Illustration Friday topic, "disguise". While brainstorming some ideas I remembered that my twitter account (that I've suddenly started using again like a beast for some reason) needed a new profile picture. Then I started thinking about twitter and socializing and how people use social networking to disguise their problems. Then I started reflecting about my own use of social media and if it is justified. Then... I illustrated, quietly pondering. 

influence

One of my friends loves Harry Potter and Chris Angel at unnatural levels. Thanks to her influence I started watching that mind freak guy on tv a long time ago for a while, then I stopped, that 'magician' was too obnoxious for me. Besides, I found a new Christ, David Blaine. I believe.

swell

Sometimes when I buy new clothes my ego may swell to a douchebag level, I apologize if you or someone you love was ever a victim of my crude sex pistols.

walk home

...and then I never took that new short cut home ever again.

hot sausage

So after a free Friendly Fires concert my friend and I decided to get some hot dogs to eat. Little did we know an unreasonable beast guarded our food.

This is my second attempt to bring illustrations into the real world. I believe it came out well! If anyone remembers the embarrassment that was the musician, you can see improvement in line quality (thank you 'live trace').
