Illustration Friday - Sea

If only I could paint, I would do a great big painting of turquoise hues for this week's topic... but I can't. So, here's my alternate take, a 'sea' of people, something I have to negotiate everyday on the streets, on public transport, in the mall, etc. The relentless tide of people can get more than a little oppressive sometimes.

The worst kind of sea that one kan fall into. Your humor just dies and you wish that you never was there! I like this expression of sea!

Great take on the theme, and a wonderful drawing, to boot.

Great, expressive characters! I love the guy with the runny nose sneezing on everyone. At least he's covering his mouth.

This definitely reminds me of how it is in metro stations during rush hours. It is a very lively illo.

I'd like you to know that I think of you of a really great illustrator. Your illos are full of great originality and you have a magic with words as well.

I am looking forward to seeing more works from you.

Brilliant execution of a great idea...Btw, is that you in there? The guy a little off-centre, with one eye bigger than the other and his tongue out? :D

Great idea. Very well done!

You have done it yet again with your wry humour and wise crack on the "IF" theme! One thing great about your illo is that you tap into the people and events that you come across in your life. Another great illo for your fans out there!

This is a really great idea! I think I can spot you in the sea of faces, and I think I can see myself in there somewhere too... Haha!
BTW, I also like your new blog banner!!!

You made me laugh, the expressions are so, so great! Clever idea!

What an excellent take on the topic...I'm guessing that's you with the mouth sewn shut and the look of utter frustration:> I love the unique faces and expressions you'ce created...there's so much personality here. I wonder if they all feel the same way...

"Sea of people" was my first thought last friday, but I didn't have the patience to pull it off. Great job on the details!
