Three bowls of Kosher Kush. Five hours. 100% Illustrator.
When I finished this, I suddenly remembered this old piece from March 2001. Apparently I did this over three days in Illustrator 9. Fourteen years has seen a lot of change in both my skills and Illustrator’s capabilities. (Well, I think I could have done all the tricks I used here in Illustrator 10 – but there is no way my computer would have been fast enough to handle them all.)
I also leaned on my past self: the jar on the left was plucked out of a recent page of Decrypting Rita, and the floor rug came from one of the Tarot cards. Both saw some modification but a lot of the basic work was already done.
I’m sure you can guess how many times I’d wish a genie would appear like thus–they wouldn’t even have to grant any wishes! ;) <3
Fantastic everything–smushy forms, textures as the surface needs, patterns upon patterns, and even a society outside one's own room. A wish in of itself! <3
