crayon drug raid

I wanted it to seem like the druggies inside the house were really fucked up. And what better way to show that than drawing everything around them like a kid's drawing. I had a fun time doing the research and practicing drawing like a kid. My mom found these really old and dried up crayons I had as a kid, so they were probably somewhere around 18 years old.

This is a really great idea. If you want to be a professional artist, I wouldn't be giving out free high res nothin!

mailuft said...

has anyone received hi-res? :)

edipotrebol said...

I havent received nothing yet...

mikkel sommer said...

hey you guys who wants hi-res'

Im sorry, but some copyright stuff might have come in the way of things. Some people are making a short film based on the illustration, so Im not completely sure if I can simply through hi-res' around. They might be really touchy people. I'll promise still to see what I can do about it.
thanks for understanding.
