Paul Watson: A Portrait of a Canadian Activist

Jes — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:34:15 +0000

This illustration was inspired by Paul Watson’s on-going struggle against illegal whaling. Paul Watson was born in Toronto, Canada, and was one of the co-founders of Greenpeace.

For more information about Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd visit www.seashepherd.org

This is my first attempt at doing a complete illustration in 3D. It is not perfect, but still pretty cool.

Get out your 3D glasses… make sure the red is over your left eye and enjoy…

Make sure that the red side of your glasses is over the left eye.

This is my first experiment using stereoscopic imaging and let me just say that I love it! I will definitely be making 3d versions of my new illustrations in the future but for now please enjoy my random experiments and let me know what you think.
