Monday Illustrations

A slightly random sampling for a Monday morning:

• Same actor, different role: clever, and kind of self-explanatory once clicked.

• Who needs to wait for a bank collapse when you’ve got this ATM mugger?  (Lose money the old fashioned way, I say.)
• Folicular stylings (perfect for our XD group):
  • Desktop facial hair contest
  • I {Heart} ‘Stache
  • Related/previous: this offbeat Beard font.

• Tutorials & resources:
  • Veerle offers guidance on drawing Apple’s cloverleaf "Command" shape in Illustrator (or, if you prefer, call it a Swedish campground symbol).
    • Along similar lines, dig Nicholas Guarino’s piece. [Via]
  • 40 Dark and Futuristic Photoshop Effects [Via]
  • 40 Sets of Abstract Glow Brushes
• Dilbert creator Scott Adams is all over Photoshop + Wacom Cintiq. [Via many people]
