Description Had a few people asking me for tips, so here's a very quick one.
Just dont spend it all at once.

Needed a stack of money in the background for an illustration, so thought I'd draw one up. Who says you can't make any money working as an illustrator?

Quick pen and ink and then a bit of kerfutzing around in photoshop.

Oh Dave! This is AWESOME! I LOVE your portraits, it's still Ben, but it's got so much cartoony personality. I love the small print, verty funny. (I got a "tip" froma customer once, it was a "sex dollar." A six dollar bill with Bill Clinton's face on it.)

lol! Be even funnier if you were from New Zealand - 'six' is pronounced somewhere between 'sex' and 'sux' over there. I'm afraid the only tips I seem to get are things like 'dont leave the tap running if you want to save water'

And now you may no longer visit America

It's good, but Franklin looks so unhappy. With inflation the way it's going he should be blown up like a balloon. Or a child with allergies who fell on a bees nest. Hmmm, how many more childish metaphors can one make about the economy?

Loopydave In reply to spacecowboy76 [2011-09-17 15:33:28 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure I'd have trouble if I tried using it as currency at customs in the US
And yes, Franklin is probably looking like that over the economy. That, or he's just had a rather disagreeable meal.

Too many Philadelphia Cheesesteaks - hence the reason why he and many others only appear on currency from the neck up.

SUPERB work LD!! .... "The only CERTAIN things in life are DEATH and TAXES" (Ben F.) ...

On a 'quirky' note .... HOW 'electricity' came to be! (Credited to Ben Franklin!) ....

As the 'story' goes ... BEN F. and WIFEY were doing what most couples do from time to time ... Getting in a HEATED argument .... It finally got SO bad for MRS. Franklin that she shouted out to hubby Ben: "BEN, GO FLY A KITE"! ... (and the rest, as they 'say', was HISTORY!" ... WINK!

"Fish and visitors SMELL in THREE days" (Ben F) ... SMILES ....

GREAT work above!!!

With the high cost of printing and the pulp it takes to make it... you're not that far off the mark my friend. Sadly... printing costs an arm an a leg... so feel free to send as many of those dead presidents my way, thankyouverymuch.

Had to do some research on US money for reference - Australian money has different colours and sizes for different amounts.
And at the moment, is worth more

Loopydave In reply to Zhaanman [2011-09-17 15:38:46 +0000 UTC]

They do the different sized for the visually impared (larger the value of the note, the longer it is) and its printed on a polymer, not on paper. There you go - weird stuff about foreign money - useful knowledge if you wish to bore people at parties

American cash is becoming monopoly money - I vote for moving ahead with making it look more appropriate! Nice work, btw.
