The artwork itself is basic, but it feels expressive and that’s the point of it — just like the frame “tries” to hold the image, but it’s merely a guideline.</p>http://meridimus.com/post/21786398168http://meridimus.com/post/21786398168Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:05:00 +0100riotillustrationabstractpoliceoccupygreeceathens<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lypz6zq79p1qz7w9co1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Slide 1</p>http://meridimus.com/post/16864839217http://meridimus.com/post/16864839217Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:04:11 +0000patchcubscoutscubssewnvectorillustrationspacemanjohnnytwoshoesjohnny two shoes<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lypz3vLSxM1qz7w9co1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Slide 6</p>http://meridimus.com/post/16864786888http://meridimus.com/post/16864786888Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:02:19 +0000breakdownmanic depressionmarcheespressotescosupermarketillustrationmentalnervous<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lypz1d4XsM1qz7w9co1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Slide 13…</p>http://meridimus.com/post/16864741340http://meridimus.com/post/16864741340Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:00:49 +0000mortmortfishillustrationfishdeaddeath<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lypyuuwbje1qz7w9co1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Slide 9</p>http://meridimus.com/post/16864633468http://meridimus.com/post/16864633468Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:56:54 +0000fearloathingfrustrationIllustrationvector<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lypys6zVIe1qz7w9co1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Slide 11</p>http://meridimus.com/post/16864590732http://meridimus.com/post/16864590732Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:55:17 +0000illustrationcollabcollaborationhandspalmsbrothersteam<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lypyp5ojzP1qz7w9co1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Slide 7</p>http://meridimus.com/post/16864542192http://meridimus.com/post/16864542192Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:53:29 +0000presentationslidefreedomillustrationvectorseventies70s1970salbum coverlprecord<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly1lheFlKk1qz7w9co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The last year my illustration has got about 10 times better.

Then I got the iPad to display them in short succession with a black screen in-between.</p> <p>I shot on BULB mode so I could leave the camera picking up light for as long as I want, this was probably open for about 10 seconds to capture this while I stood behind the tree moving the iPad.</p> <p>I hope you enjoy the final result which was mildly tweaked in Photoshop using the LEGENDARY Exposure 3 plugin.</p></blockquote>http://meridimus.com/post/9680047817http://meridimus.com/post/9680047817Thu, 01 Sep 2011 22:59:39 +0100Light and DarkMaxFuji X100x100b+wblack and whitephotographyshutterslutsipadsubmission<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lppl9jmhaT1qz7w9co1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Josh showed me the game Journey a while ago and I absolutely loved it, to the point where everything I had drawn for the next few days was almost exactly like the game.
