So, I was up almost all last night, watching the Australian Open, (curse the 16 hour time difference)...and decided to work on a color version of yesterdays sketchbook posting.


ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY - CLIMBING
I don't know if I'm stretching it with this topic, but I'm approaching climbing as more in the aspect of rising through the competition. To ascend, or to take an even more literal definition, "To move oneself upward, especially by using the hands and feet". SO, in using sheer athletics, discipline, and wicked amounts of talent...the best overcome their opponents, to CLIMB up the ladder that is the Grand Slam! Let's all just pretend that "using the hands and feet" is intended to represent people playing tennis...I mean, that's all what we thought they meant, right?

Sketch from post, "January 22, 2009".

I am a ridiculous tennis fan, and thanks to the SPECTACULAR matches that have been played in the first week of the 2009 season at The Australian Open in Melbourne, The Utilisaurus is pleased to present an action packed, WICKED BACKHAND SLICE!

Check out that sweet free product placement on his T-shirt!
I've been told that Nike is eternally grateful.
