Something for my portfolio again.

I went to the other end of Germany last week - 9 hours by train - to convince some agency that I am worthy of being their intern. They gave me 1.5 weeks to deliver them 2 - 3 more pieces of work that are not purely illustrative. The funny thing is that I have been ill for most of that time. Ha! Life can really be full of... adventures.

So I did this, which is kinda an illustration but I think it could also be an ad in a magazine or so.
Sometimes I get really tired of the attitude that EVERYTHING has to be done digital these days. And if it's digital please make it fucking vector... because everything else is so outdated! Nothing against vector, some people can create absolutely beautiful art with Illustrator and co. but most of the vector stuff I see in the advertising and everyday life pretty much sucks. Does it have soul? Does advertising need a soul at all? I dunno. I'm fed up with this modern snobbery.
I'm also kind of fed up with being a graphic designer... but shhhh, don't tell.

I'm sorry, I'm not very good with Illustrator. But I AM an Illustrator. Isn't that funny? Well, not really.

Anyway, this is done with traditional mediums and slightly edited with Photoshop. It's supposed to have that sketchy character.

I'm tired.
