This week I went to Gibraltar so I decided to finish up this illustration based on a sketch I made on my first visit to Spain and Gibraltar.

This weeks Illustration Friday topic was; Adrift.

Polar bear cub and inuit child adrift on ice

My submission this week is representing the polar bears, and the people living in the arctic that will be among the first to feel the effects of global warming.

The melting of their natural habitat is a very pressing environmental concern.

So here you have it, a free desktop wallpaper based on my cosy little hometown village Nibe, in Denmark.

It is a very small place that can get quite cold, and they put lights up in the narrow little streets, illuminating the old houses and buildings in the most charming way possible.

New Illustration:

Going Sailing

I just finished this and wanted to share it. It started as a redwine induced sketch from my little sketchbook that I always have with me.

I wanted the illustration to have a textured feel to it, a slightly flat look. I normally create my illustration using a combination of hand sketching, illustrator line drawing and then a finish in Photoshop.

This one was created solely in Illustrator though. I used patterns and gradients to give it texture.
