Illustration Friday-Save

With the recession and all, its good to give your customers a little incentive. :-)

I've always loved doing funny ads/coupons and the like. This was naturally what I came up with when I saw this week's Illustration Friday topic was "Save."

And thanks for all the lovely comments on my new banner! Just needed to freshen up the blog here. I finally updated the new blogger template. The new version is so easy to use! I don't know why it took me so long.

Excellent! It sounds crazy, but wouldn't that make a great promotional postcard? I'd love to see an art director cash it in. Hee :)

pati said...

I also heart your new banner, spring is in the air, finally! :D

Cheers,

Sooo cute! I agree with the others, it definitely would make a great promo. It's full of chickeny goodness!

Your new banner is fab! The colors have a richness to them that creates a nice atmosphere whilst we linger at your blog. I just love it.

Such a genius idea!!! Very funny. You better put something on there about only one coupon per illustration, otherwise you might be in trouble!

Tracy said...

What I love about this piece is that it shows you have a great (and goofy) mind behind those awesome design and illustration skills. I agree with everyone here who says this would make a great promo.

I just love your work! That chicken is so great. This is so perfect for this weeks theme. I really love the colors. . .they are so you!

J. E. Morris said...

OMG! too funny!! But the poor little chicken. Maybe you should have a vegan substitute. A Tofurkey leg perhaps?

*Jene said...

Funny! (that coupon also has validity in Argentina? )

Very cute. You could always make a bunch of simple little chicken leg softies to give away as promotional pieces - clients would love that! BTW, I love your illustrations & blog, thanks for sharing.

John Coulter said...

great! the only thing that would make it better would've been taking off one of the legs on your chicken in the logo :-)

Unknown said...

i think i better go make a sandwich.

Pickledog said...

Too funny!!

I couldn't bear that thought of all those one legged chickens, hoping around on little peg-legs, so I would choose the 10 cent discount. : )
