Die fantastischen Illustrationen von Derek Chatwood

Ich klicke mich gerade völlig begeistert durch die Illustrationen von The Searcher aka Derek Chatwood, der am ehesten für die Regenbogen kotzenden Pandas bekannt sein dürfte, die Flickr seit längerem auf einer ihrer Explore-Pages benutzt. Seine Illus strotzen nur so vor Details, und, und das dürfte ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal sein, und wenn nicht, dann ist es mir bisher noch nicht unter gekommen, na jedenfalls schreibt er zu fast jeder seiner Werke eine kleine Story. Das Bild da oben trägt den Titel Fairly Unbalanced (jeder, der die Berichterstattung von Fox News kennt, der weiss, warum), und die Story dazu geht so:

Subj: Obama Campaign

Here's the latest iteration on the Obama poster campaign [see attached]. I think we're getting close. From the notes of our last meeting, you can see I've made the horns bigger, and added the worm-succubi coming out of his hands. I know we discussed having Obama feeding on a screaming infant, but I had to leave that out. We received an email from your legal dept (you should have been cc'd) explaining that child eating would be a problem for standards and practices. If you want to go over that with them, fine, but as it stands I had to go with no mutilations, and no blood. I know that was one of the original design requirements, but I really feel the final artwork still conveys the fair and balanced view of President Obama that you're looking for. Sometimes subtle is better.

Let me know how you would like to proceed.

Sincerely,
Bruce
Sr. Artist
