Starbuck the Thoroughbred

Starbuck


I started this illustration for Illustrationology over a month ago, but for some weird reason I never felt like it was any good or even worth finishing. I sketched it out a dozen or so times, and tried painting it three times (second attempt below). Above is the final result – which I'm content with but I'll probably revisit this in the future.


2nd attempt

ok, so here is my Starbuck. I couldn't get the idea of a young boy dressed in an adult cowboy costume. Acrylic Paint / 18 hours..

ok, guys - new rule

Im am loving what were doing here, in the future let's put the medium and process in which we created the piece. I can usually tell but would love to know fer sure.....

Starbuck(s)

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't disconnect the word from the coffee company...so I ran with a coffee related issue that has come to my attention recently. I didn't know how uncool I was for ordering "girly" drinks from coffee shops in Bend (this includes lattes and mochas) until Jason started ordering espressos. Since then, coffee shop owners and baristas have alluded to how silly all of us latte/mocha drinkers are...oh well, I like my mochas.
