Die, Alright: Jones [The Pedant's Revenge]

And now I'm posting this on behalf of, um, myself.

The instructions were to create light hearted results so here it is! I like it, it was the first thing that popped into my head and it gave me an opportunity to do exactly what I had been looking forward to doing - a really simple 'screen-print poster' style image.

In case you have to ask, the common misconception is that the featured item is a 'dice', when in fact it is a 'die' (dice is the plural). So...

'It's not a dice, it's a DIE, ALRIGHT?'

Die, Alright: Gallusness

I'm posting this on behalf of our newest contributor. Here's what he has to say for himself!

"Hey, I'm Scott who shall probably be known henceforth as gallusness. It's my first contribution to IST so thanks go to the chaps for having me. I love the concept (of IST) and hope to contribute with a full months thinking and illustrating in future. This one could've done with more tlc but the standard of Owen & Reeko will keep me on my toes going forward. To explain my solution for Die Alright, I actually looked at one of the lines from the song 'And the way I feel tonight is gonna make me die all right'. I thought (and please excuse the cheese) what could you feel, at night, that would make dying alright? I reckoned how about the urban myth that is falling in your sleep. You know if you hit the ground you'd never actually wake up. I'm guessing most folk have had those occasional dreams where you've woken up by randomly kicking out? But supposing you were comfortable with accepting your fate, could you die alright by seeing through your fall? My take was to capture this as it was happening...

Just wait to see how the other guys answered the title. Looking forward to next month and properly breaking out the pens & pencils as a starting point. Oh and in a shameless plug if anyone else wants to see what else I get up to please swing by www.gallusness.com cheers."

Song 7 - September

Alrighty then.

Bunking off to do illustration time is shortening, but I feel it's important to keep putting the title out there.

The song for this month is "Die, Alright!" by The Hives from their compliation album, "Your New Favourite Band".

I'm looking for light hearted results here!

Becoming the Bull – Reeko

I've done it, partly. I'm looking all my grainy graphic pencil strokes as I type. When I have some time, probably at the weekend, I'll scan, finish and post.

My bad.
