illustration Friday - "PLAIN" (Plain Pam)


I decided to include a little poem with this one, which I pasted below since you probably will not be able to read it off the picture. The art work itself was drawn in Flash and Painter on my new Wacom Cintiq 20WSX. I broke down and bought one.

PLAIN PAM

She had once been extravagant, outrageous and showy
But now she is quiet, meek and claustrophobie

Where once she had lit up the room with her appearance alone
Now she faded into the background and the shadows unknown

But why this change, what happened to Pam?

Had she stepped on too many toes
Had she pushed too many buttons or made too many foes

Had she not pulled enough punches
Had she canceled too many lunches

Or was it because she came to realize
That her old showy self was just a disguise

That the real Pam was neither pushy nor glamorous
She was actually quite simple, soft spoken and enamorous

And when Pam realized her true nature was gentle and tame
She embraced it and enjoyed it although very plain.

Illustration Friday - "100%"


Nothing like giving 100% of yourself (drawn in Flash, Background in Painter & final color correction in PS CS2).
