baby’s first xanax

I haven’t posted any new artwork on here in a while, so here are two at once, both taken from the Loaf’s crime reports.

In the above, I had fun playing around with gradients and transparencies in Illustrator, which led to some unusual colors for me. The BF declared it “very Southwestern — but I like it.”

I struggled with the composition in the drawing below. I’m still not in love with the final, but my original idea — to place the sleeping grandpa on the far left and play the baby huge in the near right foreground — just didn’t work at all. The item from the Blot involved a babysitter who dozes off on the job, apparently due to too much Xanax. Some eagle-eyed (and pill-popping) readers might point out that Xanax is not a capsule, but it just didn’t work as a tablet.
