CD Cover Illustration Idea

IF-FUEL300.jpg

This week, Illustration Friday has "FUEL" as its illustration theme. This is my entry. It's a combination of my watercolor technique and 'shopped enhancements.

You say fuel, I say tax
You say ducks, I say quacks
You say jobs, I say hey man
You'd better take it up with the president of America
You say DEMS, I say please
Stimulus, I say geez
Health care bill, I say squeeze my
Grapes any harder at the checkpoint gate
I'll miss my flight 2 hours late
Cause all you want to talk about are

WINDMILLS!!! WINDMILLS!!! WINDMILLS!!!

They want to build more windmill farms
They want to build windmills
Paid for with promissory notes
Get bent & take your happy pills


Goofy mood. Intermittent insomnia. Hope it seems at least a little bit funny.

John Cox:

HEY T

Neat! Poignant, yet darkly whimsical.

GarandFan:

Matchless picture! :)

devon cox:

this is more of a green energy book cover i would think

Zeroth:

Devon! Welcome! :) I agree. I was thinking "pollution"... like there's a veneer of flammable gas or oil sitting on top of the lake, ready to explode. Weee!

That was fun, T. I like your goofy moods. :) Reminds me of mine, though maybe with a touch more darkness or cynicism. Just a touch. :)

John Cox:

DEY DEVON

Nice catch. I used the landscape background (woods=fuel) as a contrast to the burned-out match, a symbol of consumption.

Ed B:

Hey T,

Best Queen song reference ever.

Fat bottomed pols?

Terwiliger:

ED B:

I was thinking more along the lines of Imbecile Race (& all that Jazz).

Here's a better last line, though:

"Paid for" with promissory notes
Default & push a grand tax bill

Terwiliger:

And thanks, J & Z.

Doc Al:

Remember to close the cover before striking.
