Illustration Friday-The Blues
Click image for a larger view.
This is my entry for IF's "The Blues" topic. And this is my favorite...blue cheese, and a fine assortment at that. Drew everything in Freehand, combined with a real painted background in Photoshop.
Please see the previous entry "Juggle", as these are sort of a matching set.
What do you think?
I just read on Wikipedia that Stilon cheese is linked with causing bizarre dreams! How fun is that?

cleverly conceived and perfectl executed
I like the natural feel you have to the digital illustrations. It's a nice touch.
I like it; the all-over textured pattern is more satisfactory for me than 'Juggle'.
And the idea is great.
Hooray for cheese!!!
Interesting that you used freehand and photoshop, thanks for sharing. I love the look in the end result- that combination of graphic+texture look.
very very clever!

Excellent unique take!!! Love it!!!
Peace Giggles
i like the texture and gorgonzola is my fave!
very stylish cheese! nice textures and layout
tnx for your comment which I appreciate...I believe there's a great quality in your work too, and this makes no exception...
by the way, I love gorgonzola....
:)
I am always a little tense about eating blue mould
Very clever and nicely done. I like the tone and design very much. It has the softness you expect from cheese!
And that tossed salad below is wonderful. Mouth watering!
Hey Scott!
Love your 2 latest entries for Juggle and The Blues - very clever indeed!! They have that cool textural quality that really makes your illustrations unique - and I always love the color schemes you choose for your work. Great as always!!
Congratulations, you are the best! I love your blue-green cheese!
Excellent cheese post! I'll bet you could market it to the cheese people, whoever they are. I've never aquired a taste for any of the bleu cheeses...ugh. Love other cheeses though but you can't put any of these near me. I'm weird.
nice piece Scott.. Great airy feel to it.. and the typography just adds that finishing touch..
This is great! I love your take on the theme. Such a yummy piece ;)
This is a great concept for this idea. Since I love the blues I could think of nothing but the music. The composition is nice and the texture you have created works well with the "cheesy" feel...I'm sorry, I could not help it, I' a dad.
Nice work.
what an interesting concept. love your work.
thanx for your comments, feel a kindred spirit in you
have linked you to my site.
whooo stinky cheese man! love the illio....
let me know what you have in mind for my photograph.
:-)
susan
hahaha very clever
thank you for your comments...
very clever illo you got there,,,made me smile and want to go to my fridge for some cheese...;-)
You're making my mouth water and yes the cheese would be delightful with a tossed salad.
Awesome, Scott! Your style has certainly grown. This is a wonderful piece! And a great idea! My favorite cheeses too! So now we agree on movies AND cheese! :)
Scott, I love the traditional textures at work in this digital piece.
Nice cheese. I love the layout.
Yea cheese! My ancestors were some of the first dairy farmers to settle in Wisconsin. It's a cruel twist of fate that I should be lactose intolerant, but I eat it anyway.
I really like the stencilled look of the lettering. It definitely adds to the composition. After looking at the second entry for Juggle, the first looks empty.
Def. not a 'cheesey' illustration! mmm-mold- blue mold.
Excellent style! This and the 'tossed salad' and more of the like would be very marketable to restaurants, grocery stores, cook books, prints for the home kitchen- and so on.
Love the way you integrated the green of the background and the snippets of green in the cheese. Delicious!
clever concept and nice palette..!
How clever - as usual you come up with something very unique and original. And I LOVE blue cheese. The stinkier the better! Hehe
Looks good!
I hate blue cheese, but I love the image - its so rustic - really well done!
I love your style!
Where can I get some Stilon cheese??? Heehee!
Great work and very nice textures! :D I love the stamp effect on the lettering a lot!
(Thanks for visitng my little blog and for your kind comment, too!)
love this! so clever and witty!
mmmm...cheese. Thanks for visiting and your comments!
You've produced another great piece...here's an illustrator whose work I think you'll like:

So glad, you stopped by my blog. I love your illustrations too :)
Love this, love the colors and lettering!
Great concept beautifully rendered!
I love how it's flat and graphic, but it has great texture too...makes me almost wish I liked blue cheese...almost.
Nice job. Love the texture and worn look.
yummy. :-)
Thanks for checking in for new work. Hopefully I'll be able to post some of the paintings I've been working on lately. I've got a mural coming up which I'll post too.
Great take on the blues! It is one of my favorites too. The "juggle" and this are fantastic with the the painted backgrounds. I like the look, and I liked the top most piece without the type added. Cool look with these.
hehe
cute twist on the topic!
love it!
This is just a beautiful rendering of a beautiful thing. Happy, tasty blues. Double yum!
Nice take on the subject. And no blue color. Refreshing!
Now, how about a piece of blue cheesecake.
well done! Most original take so far I've seen!
Like the way you've done this - and I think the hand made b/ground really works well - lifts the piece - I do like hand done b/grounds combined with digital work.
ohhhh i LOVE a good mouldy cheese! yum, yum, yum!!! wonderful illio, scott. the color is terrific!
I LOVE your sense of humor. I LOVE the blues :)
Oh! I love gorgonzola Cheese!!
Cool illo!
Cata.
ahh. very creative!
all your work is awesome - this piece is particularly fine
