Illustration Friday - Sea

Illustration Friday this week is Sea. I hate to be a bummer, reminder of bad news, negative-Nelly but I can't help but think of the on-going crisis in our oceans and seas, pollution, over-fishing - to mention two. Problems that can't be ignored, that the world community should address and repair while we have the opportunity.

Illustration Friday - Sea

True beauty underwater, look here and these underwater photos on bigfoto.com.

I am always humbled by how many talented folks submit to IF. Rick gives a detailed explanation 'old school technique' of his Hero illustration here and his most amazing interpretaton of Sea at Drawrings, etc. The raging Sea churning at Artwork Anonymous.

    Will you forgive me if I use the adjective "exquisite" one more time? It's the word most frequently inspired by your lovely drawings and blog.

    Thank you one and all. I always feel like the gloom and doom person, but at least I am not alone in my thoughts!

    This is absolutely beautiful Kim. You are not a "gloom and doom" person here because of your statement. It's so dangerous to be oblivious to such matters. Thanks for posting this.

    A great idea and a great piece. I also feel horrible for all of the precious sea life and their contaminated world.

    I love how you combine relevant commentary with such beautiful imagery. The colors (that turquoise - wow!) and composition on this one are especially outstanding, and I just love th mermaid! Yes...she has some things to worry about.

    Lovely image and I think the mermaid worried about her environment makes the point very well
