Description Drawn in Illustrator 7. Cropped in Photoshop 7.
Around 4 hours in this.

Thought I'd create some Jark art, since I feel quite strongly about the situation .

The idea for an absolute ad just came to me, and seemed appropriate considering the existence of the Alien in a Jar icon...

°jark is one of the cofounders of DeviantArt. He was recently and unjustly fired from his position at Devart without so much as an explanation. As a result, serval DevArt admins have resigned in protest, and a large population of DevArtists have have either removed their artwork from the site or "painted" their icons yellow in support of °jark , whose icon is a yellow alien. The major concern of these artists is that certain higher-ups in the infrastructure, namely $spyed , are more interested in making money than supporting as a community.

Thank you so much I really wanted to create a satire...and I thought that using an advertisement (designed to make $$$) for the basis of my design would be a great concept because of the contrast it creates between jark's representation of community and the impending presence of "corporate" DA leaders...

Glad you liked it

That's really wicked. Is it supposed to be "Absolut"? Oh, and q: What are absolute ads? I haven't heard of them.

Absolut is a brand of vodka. Their advertisements began with something basic like this [link]
The concept became wildly popular, and there were TONS of spin offs. go to [link] and type in absolut vodka. You'll find HUNDREDS of spin offs...

For example: [link] , [link] , [link]

I don't drink (much) either, but being a graphic designer, I tend to pick up on interesting advertisements...

lol, true true. My favourite advertisment I've seen would probably be one for Strange Adventures, a comic shop. They spraypaint EVERYTHING.
