thunder struck

(ever notice my shadows make NO sense??)
This piece was for Leap Magazine, Alberta Cancer Foundations magazine, put out by the great people at Venture Publishing. The article was called "the science of stress", and basically went into the health and personal dangers stress causes. Even though its very serious subject matter, i had some fun playing with depicting stress, and its consequences. Nice, fun piece to paint, so big thanks to them for thinking of me for this project. On a side note, nonslick is getting a bit more help (Mark and I are falling behind) as friend and fellow illustrator Daniel Fishel has agreed to join the team and help us conduct some interviews. I'd really like to add at least one more person, so, if you'd like to reach out to other illustrators and discuss their work with them get in touch with me.
Here are some of the roughs that were submitted:
