Illustration Friday - "Fail" I failed to get this on the February cover of the New Yorker


Hi Everyone....


Today's theme was a tough one...at first I was going to do something fun like a little kid with a failing grade...but then I thought about the cover idea I submitted too late to the New Yorker....

The true meaning of fail was me not getting it there in time....


Hope you enjoy it!


Happy Friday Everyone...


Cheers,

Diana

  3. I had a hard time with the theme of FAIL too, but I like your spin on it, as it is something very relatable to many an artist in the field. Interesting illustration with really great vibrant color... maybe it will find a home with another magazine?!
