It’s been a while. I haven’t been slack illustrating, but I’ve not illustrated for Illustration Friday for a while!
I’ve been researching about — elbows recently. I had to go look at skeletons and emancipated people just so that I could figure out just how elbows work under the skin – to better draw & paint them.
So I painted an emancipated African and since Christmas is coming soon, I threw in Santa. Feed the world and be thankful you have food!
Comments welcome.
This is so sad and so real… and reality makes it even sadder.
Urs is a beautiful illo, Joel. It does makes me think and valuate things that truly matter.
Great work! awesome!
now you got me singing “Feed the World”
nice job on this.

Nice lighting, creates a somber mood. I like you painterly style as well.
Great message and style of illustrating.
I like the message. Having it go from somber colors to bright colors is very effective!
very strange piece. but, nice.
May I post this on my blog? It’s a little late I know but it’s rather nice. I shall credit with a link to your blog, of course~
