Greenpoint Stadium

Greenpoint Stadium; Digital Illustration

The third (and my favorite) work on the new series.

I haven't seen any crows lately, but I ran into a cow, a mad cow. Not one of those mad cows they sell you at the butchers, an actual real life one. I ran into her on the street as she came out of a hidden entrance to her church... with my bicycle.

In retrospect that might have been why she was mad. She called me ugly names(I thought it quite inappropriate, her being a church woman and all... ), I responded with some mud myself, she retorted with something about kicking my scrawny ass and I told her that if she stopped eating everything she laid eyes on, we might be able to fit two bicycles, three pedestrians and a guy in a wheelchair on the same sidewalk. I then proceeded to inform her of the fact that she is probably causing significant damage to the tar surface because of being overweight, and she just happen to stand on a broken and cracked part that fit quite nice with my story and made her so mad she could only stutter like a fish on dry land. I'm not entirely sure who won the linguistic duel, but I know I ended it.

... I might need to take another route to work now in the mornings.

Cable Car

Table Mountain Cable Car
Digital Illustration/ Manipulation

This was my guinea pig for a series of digital illustrations of Cape Town (As you'll see it's also by far the worst). The idea is centered around what the Cape would look like if all humans disappeared and the natural habitat started reclaiming its territory. In all of the works I made sure to use only plants and animals indigenous to the region, or that are already established there and would realistically remain or progress as the years go by. In this first one the change isn't very visible, but it becomes more apparent in the progression of others as you'll see.
