today in mailbox I found the last copy of Radcliffe Magazine of Harvard University. an interesting piece the one on David Montgomery I’ve been asked to illustrate.

I still have a thing for one of the sketches which didn’t make the cut, the one I would call studying rocks at the library, but I must say I was happy not to be the AD in charge of choosing between the ideas I sent. Illustrators often are the worst judge of themselves and most of all they sometimes focus their attention to useless details. not the best attitude if you’re task is being productive and able to run an entire issue of magazine of a magazine.

Above the final piece, the library sketch and couple of others pics about the before&after of this assignment.

Have a Blessed Good Friday.

Today is Good Friday, the day in which our Lord & Saviour, Jesus Christ, was condemned to death, nailed to the cross, & when he died to save & purify all of mankind. Because today is arguably one of the most important days in the entire universe & it’s certainly one of the most important days in the Catholic faith, I thought it would be appropriate to share a little something for all of you who follow this blog. This is just my little reminder to all my fellow Catholics about the importance of this day, & that you guys aren’t alone when it comes to practicing your faith. I put together a little picture set that illustrates Good Friday & the best ways of illustrating today’s importance. The top image shows three crosses standing in a field & with the message of having a blessed day today. The bottom left image shows another cross, this one being draped with a cloth & the crown of thorns, as sunlight shines upon it to illustrate a new beginning & a second chance for all of us. The bottom right image is a painting of what actually happened on Good Friday: it shows Jesus dying on the cross, as his followers, loved ones, & disciples mourn their great loss.

I hope that all of you have a blessed & good day this Good Friday, & thank you for your continued support of this blog!

Reblogging this post from last year in case any new followers hadn’t seen it yet. Have a Blessed Good Friday!
