Vector art, eh? It's really good :)
Was it for a poster of some kind?

Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away
:iconace-of-spade:
Just saw the movie today so I recognized his name directly. :-) Truly an amazing movie.., and gj on the vector!
:iconlandel:
This is good man! Two tones rock!

Although the comic font seems to clash a little. And I would write "People with mental illnesses..."
:iconrook-over-here:
thx man :)

the comic font was requested by my boss... although technically I can redo it anyway I want to since this design's been rejected.

"Persons with mental illness" is the general used terminology in the psychiatric rehabilitation industry. "People" has this whole "en masse" thing going for it, while "persons" seems more like "individuals." Yeah, it's not proper English but being politically correct has screwed up the language a lot worse in other instances :)

thx! it was supposed to be a T-shirt design, but it got rejected in favour of a Charlie Chaplin variation. Maybe I'll post that one up at a later date when everything is finalised :)

thx. nothing really difficult though.
Part of me wants to learn how vector with all the mapping and all, but most of me just wants to focus on drawing :)

This is excellent!

And a good message too.

The block color and and the way you've left the edges white really increases the impact of the image.

Fantastic stuff Rook! Be keen to see the CC version.
