Illustration Friday: Flawed 1

It turns out the secret ingredient in the winning cioppino recipe was a flawed cod. (I personally love them beer-battered and fried with lots of tartar sauce!)

I hope to be back later with a BETTER entry!! Oy, what a reach.

acrylic, marker and colored pencil on yesterday's news

I like the concept of the fish on the newspaper, sorta reminds me of the Scilly Islands..; January 30, 2009 1:53 PM
Kay Aker said...: What do you mean better? This is a delight- the colors and the juxtaposition of the fish on the newspaper! Love your new banner also! You keep on dazzling!; January 30, 2009 1:58 PM

get zapped said...: Fun post :) Not to mention colorful! I always like what you have to share. Like the newspaper. We always spread newspaper on the table when we ate the blue crabs from the Chesapeake because they were so messy. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!; January 30, 2009 3:28 PM
yoon see said...: Indeed a good colourful piece.

Lynn said...: I love the fish on the newspaper, as they wrapped in many fish markets or were in my younger years.

No flaws seen here! Great fish!; January 30, 2009 6:03 PM
studio lolo said...: Thanks everyone!
I really did paint this on an article about a winning cioppino recipe (which is a seafood stew!)

I had such high hopes for an illustration today and this is all I could muster. I'm glad the response is good!

soulbrush said...: what a good way to show a piece of fish, in newspaper...tee hee, unflawed i'd say.; January 31, 2009 4:37 AM
Nicky Linzey said...: I thought this was a great idea to show the fish in newspaper. Its so effective - the colourful fish against the starkness of the black & white paper.; January 31, 2009 7:59 AM
Indigene said...: Lol! It works for me...lol! Love it!; January 31, 2009 1:43 PM
Renee said...: No, I don't know who the artist is. I am going to have to do a post on my blog though about my stolen art and make sure everyone knows it isn't mine.

xoxoxo

Love Renee; January 31, 2009 2:48 PM
kj said...: flawed? i like this alot. no surprise there!; January 31, 2009 4:11 PM
Margaret Ann said...: Perfect and super clever...Love the way you see life! :); January 31, 2009 4:39 PM
Renee said...: Hello Darling:

Thank you. But I keep thinking I better do a post soon about the art, because I really do wish I could credit it to the artist now.

At the time, to be honest. I didn't give a shit really. I just wanted to look at something that made me feel better.

xoxo

Thank you though, because I do love all the pictures or if I don't love them they hit something in me.

Love Renee; January 31, 2009 6:34 PM
Renee said...: Do you want to take one guess at who already has some of your paper bag ladies and also a certain banner with a paper bag lady.

xoxoxo

I appreciate.

Love Renee; January 31, 2009 8:07 PM
Vanessa Brantley Newton said...: OOH this looks so delicious and colorful and tasty too! he he he! I really like this. It brings back a lot of wonderful memories for me of going to the fish monger with my mom! This is fabulous.; February 01, 2009 2:17 AM

Roberta said...: So who won the contest.......lol!

This is great Laurel...
The spontaneity of it really works!; February 01, 2009 6:15 AM
Princess Pepper Cloud said...: That fish has too much personality to eat, I would love to have that flawed fish in a tank with other beautifuly colored flawed fish. Then maybe I could start a flawed fish farm.; February 01, 2009 8:51 AM
HARDWAX said...: I like reading newspapers, I enjoy cod, especially the way you described it, and throw in some steak fries and a few hush puppies, hmmm, I forgot myself for a second, see what your illustrations do to me.

Nothing flawed here, all good.; February 01, 2009 10:45 AM
marianne said...: I love how you dare to make art on all kinds of backgrounds and they all turn out so nice!; February 01, 2009 12:30 PM
ValGalArt said...: haha that fish is to pretty to eat :); February 01, 2009 8:21 PM
Debra Kay said...: What a pretty, flawed fish!; February 01, 2009 8:35 PM
messyfish said...: yeah thats a big reach alright! lucky you have done that, now you have inspired me to do the same. Love the paper!; February 02, 2009 4:58 AM
catnapping said...: yum! i love cod. i love 'em fried in batter, and i love 'em with rice and spinach, with a light, sherry-based sauce drizzled over.

nothing flawed about cod. cods are from god!

theartofpuro said...: Funny idea:); February 02, 2009 7:47 AM
erin said...: awesome, awesome! "flawed cod" would be a good name for a band, "yesterday's news" could be the name of their first album. I don't see how "flawed-2" could ever out do "flawed-1" it's marvelous!; February 02, 2009 10:02 AM
Amy C said...: oh so fun, I love that you painted it on newspaper.; February 02, 2009 10:14 AM
Gai said...: great work consistently imaginative and original. brill.; February 02, 2009 10:02 PM
sketched out said...: Lovvve the way he pop off the newsprint! So much fun. Gorgeous fishy! Hey, don't worry about the reach. I personally feel some of my favorite IF entries have been far reaches. The weekly word is meant to be inspirations, right!!? If it inspired this awesome piece, then hooray!!; February 05, 2009 1:13 PM
AndyDoodler said...: Beautiful! It really would be a perfect illustration and layout for an article on Flawed Cod-- grreat idea!- and mmmmm- fried-beer-batter (though w/o the fish for me ;); February 05, 2009 4:04 PM
