Top a lil tribute to the late great Harry Nielsen. Bottom still in progress but not sure yet how i want to finish it, maybe some kind of asian streetscape done in line. if i do it i will post it on my other blog.
If you are "puttin da lime in da coconut.".. why not do it in Jamaica with the yellow birds and the lemon trees... The image makes me think of warm sweet breezes and sparkling waves...and the hint of steel drums in the background. Thanks for the memory.
I can't believe I didn't think of that song for this topic. lol Bottom illustration looks good so far. I really like the idea of a cityscape for the background.
Too too funny Michael! I remember tis song as a kid actually, and those lyrics were one of the first things i thought of when i saw the prompt. I'm glad someone used them!
... an' den she drink it all up... and then my mind goes into the almost falsetto 'doc-tor-r-r'. Whoa. Now where did I put that lime and that hairy coconut? Getting thirsty. Great post.
I like the little stick man with the big problem, but coconut and lime it could work, nice flavor, if he could combine them. Looks like the beginning of a great picture, although she looks kinda special standing there with her cool drink, I wonder if she really needs anything else. You are always surprising and interesting Michael!
It was interesting reading about "Cornbread" McCray. And I'll be waiting to see what you do with the lime in de coconut background.That was a Harry Neisen song? Didn't know that. As usual I got another COL from your comment.
I like Harry! Your illustrations are very fun, Mike!

ReplyDeleteI think for the bottom one I would make the background a beach scene with a juice stand selling these citrus concoctions. Just an idea..
ReplyDeletemaybe you could do several different backrounds! i look forward to seeing it, i love the beginnings.
ReplyDeleteNice :-) The first one is great. I like your use of white space.
