Subterranean Homesick Alien

I figure this could count for Illustration Friday's "Seperated" even though it's a bit of a stretch.

Sorry for awful photos. My camera really hates colors like this. :(

"Subterranean Homesick Alien" by Radiohead

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets

They're all uptight
Uptight.. [x7]

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it

I'd tell all my friends
But they'd never believe
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely

I'd show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be all right
All right..

I'm just uptight
Uptight.. [x7]

Just listenin' to my tambourine cd player

Somewhere I'm Not Scatterbrain

 

For IF: "scattered"

inspired by Radiohead:

I'm walking out in a force ten gale
Birds thrown around, bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off by its fingernails
Your voice is rattlin' on my window sill
Yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
Yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
Any fool can easy pick a hole I only wish I could fall in
A moving target in a firing range
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Lightning fuse, powercut
Scatterbrain

Hibernate

Ferocious Fish Head

Here's my submission for this weeks IF theme "ferocious". Made from watercolor scraps (with a gear for the eye and fruit netting for a fish net type thing.)

I derived the image from this drawing in my sketchbook:

That drawing came from combining the images 2 random collages in another sketchbook (scraps from a project I did on Eric Carle):

Illustration Friday: "Swell"

 

I kept thinking of a swelling head and somehow that also became a muffin.

Illustration Friday: Obsession

This is my very first IF! I illustrated my own obsession with that of the elixir of life...I mean Diet Coke.
