Hope you like it!

I just had the distinct pleasure of working from a sketch by my friend and colleague

morot

Here's what he whipped up during a quick coffee break in the office:

His drawings are always fun and full of expressive detail, and this is no exception. I doodled away on it:

I really don't know how to make good use of line art, I never seem to be able to keep it around for very long before it gets covered up completely in paint... Still, I hope you'll like it! 

Thanks Jocke :)

No art today, tho I thought I'd share some very informative and entertaining findings. Hope you'll enjoy this, and if not, well there will be more art down the line!

One one side...

Weekly Standard http://www.weeklystandard.com/

An American neoconservative magazine owned by arch-neocon Rupert Murdoch and run by William Kristol, founder of the Project for the New American Century neoconservative think-tank. Both WS and PNAC are highly influential to US government policies, with contributors in senior positions in current and previous administrations.

Christopher Hitchens

A former Trotskyite turned neo-con ally, Hitchens is a fearsome opponent in any debate with his razor-sharp wit and enormous intellectual capacity. This coupled with the fact that, by his own testimony, he drinks enough each day “to kill or stun the average mule” makes him a highly entertaining character in the public debate. Is a staunch proponent of freedom of speech and in favor of the Iraq invansion. Watch him in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d7fHvHXeiQ

And on the other side...

Asia Times Online http://www.atimes.com/

Opinionated and analytical articles from a central Asian perspective. With contributors from all over the world, this online publication offers insight and understanding of the region (and indeed the world) that you rarely find in western media.

George Galloway

A former Labor party MP who was kicked out of his own party because of his harsh criticism of British support for the Iraq invasion (and for calling Tony Blair a mass murderer). Galloway does not pull any punches and is unparalleled in any debate – save for perhaps Chris Hitchens... Watch Galloway mix politics and public beatings in this segment from Sky News: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_tbj6v1KVs

And now...

Galloway vs. Hitchens

The apocalyptic showdown between two intellectual giants, Christopher Hitchens and George Galloway debate the Iraq war. It doesn’t get much better than this.

What's going on here? What's up with the new age/pagan angle recently? I don't know. It's almost impossible to put a pyramid on a painting and get away with it, much less a pyramid AND a spaceship. Photo collage + painting = lots of fun :)

I don't really know what a real mandrake root looks like, it would have helped to have an actual root here to draw from (hopefully they're all a bit like this one!) This is for all you wiccans and neopagans out there:
