A little experiment I did today with type, texture and concept. The BP Oil Spill has been on my mind a lot lately, so I've been doodling things and playing around on the computer with my programs.

The first thing people are probably going to say is "it's dark" and I need to say immediately that that is the point. Oil slick isn't clean, clear or bright. It is a putrid, dark pollutant. Yeah, I've said before that my digital style seems to be a bit more dark that normal, but I set out to make this dark from the start.

I tried to make the graphic as simple as possible. That's why there's only 3 graphic parts - texture, type and silhouettes of a school of fish. I used my own textures and *changeweaver 's stock watercolour paper (Found here: [link] ).

I would like to let you know that your two illustrations - one of the snake and this one - touch me so very deeply and brought me to tears. You definitely express the oil spill so perfectly through the really dark colors and the very special creatures (snake and school of fish) that have suffered so much and really need help. Yes, the oil that's everywhere in the Gulf causes the underwater view to be so incredibly dark and depressing. Besides, it is downright dangerous. Your illustrations are a perfect expression of that!

Wow...Comments like this are usually hard to come by (At least for me). It leaves me at a loss as to what to say. I'm glad it moved you, that's something an artist strives for. And I'm glad you feel my image gives off the desired idea. Thank you very very much
