Sketch Of The Week: Internet Speak

These are some stock art ideas I created back when I first started contributing to Istockphoto. I was going to do a whole series of internet abbreviation characters. I actually completed two of them based on "LOL" and "OMG".


Unfortunatley these were rejected by the Istock inspectors for prominently featuring typography. I disagree with their ruling because they're characters shaped like letters not actually letters themselves. It's just as well though, I have some better ideas on what to do with these illustrations.

Since LOL and OMG were rejected the others never got completed. For now they only exist in sketch form.
