  17. Love the striking images - the colours are excellent jungle colours! And the movement on the right contrasting with the stillness on the left is wonderful.

  18. Ha! Excellent! Wonderful play with the theme.

    I'm struck by the style contrast between these posterized images and the more straightforward pencil work. The line work is completely different. The posters make use of photos and perhaps other outside images that you re-color and recontextualize, right?

    Maybe this Friday I'll jump in and join the weekly challenge, though I've not drawn a thing in... oh so very long.
