This card was created by combining a pencil drawing of the deer with an ink drawing of the flowers and plants digitally, and the color was also applied digitally. We love mixing hand-done and digital mediums!

Cigar Snob Illustrations

These are from a series of illustrations I did for Cigar Snob magazine. The turnaround was tight, but I’m happy with the way they turned out! I love doing editorial illustrations and had a lot of fun with the project.

Hunter’s Delight

macoeswett_huntersdelight

This piece has been accepted for a juried art show at the City of Brea Art Gallery and is currently on display there until May 2009.

 

At first glance, it seems like a very light-hearted expression of two young wild animals; however, the name hints at darker implications. The fawn, amazed by the unusual bunny, is content just to touch noses with him to see if he’s real. However, the hunter, seeing the unique “specimen,” cannot rest until he kills it to stuff and add to his trophy room.

 

The piece is a statement on humankind’s appreciation of beauty. As humans, we all have differing levels of the same disease; we cannot simply appreciate beauty without desiring to own it. Whether the object of beauty is a member of the opposite sex, a fancy house, or a diamond ring, it remains meaningless to us unless we can claim it as our own.
