Mushroom Challenge

Here is my submission. I created a pattern using all the names of the mushrooms in the article, and different fonts that I thought worked with the name and origin of the mushroom.
Not sure what else to write about it...

Another find!

Here's a really amazing piece of work. It's an animation/illustration/performance, which means you really just need to watch it.

Arting

So, here's the two pieces I've been working on lately. The blackbird piece has been worked on for longer, and done with watercolor and watercolor pencils.Also, I did this quick-in-drawing-long-in-painting illustration based on the song "The dirtiest queen." by Lovedrug.

Crit me!

Brilliant and still Commercial

So, I've always had this struggle with commercial jewelry. It's always very much the same, frequently overdone and in bad taste. Well, funnily enough, this jewelry could have been more commercial than any, since it's a collaboration between Jewelry.com and Macy's, of all things. They paired up to celebrate New York. And here's what we got instead of commercial junk:

It's absolutely brilliant. Perfectly commercial, gold and stones, but not commercial at all. This would fly in the art jewelry world as well. It may not be to everyone's taste, but as far as commercial jewelry goes, some of this (and there are a couple of pieces I don't like at all, so the collection should suit almost everyone) is absolutely amazing.

September 2009 Challenge

Alright, challenge is up! This month, your mission is mushrooms. Specifically, that article. So, go! Make a guide to something, make actual mushrooms, paint them, use the shape or the texture in something, but for the love of challenges, make something.
