Illustration Friday: Safe

Is it safe? It's been a terrible week so I haven't put much time into this weeks illustration, but whenever I thought of the theme "Safe" all I could think of was Marathon Man. I wanted to think of something terribly clever where the meaning and the image were complete opposites. But I couldn't shake the Nazi with the dental tools. So if you've seen the movie, you probably know what I'm talking about. Those words still give me the creeps.

I haven't seen this movie, but I love this..I love simple line and contour drawings, love the handwriting.

Nicely done. I actually wanted to cover my mouth with my hand to protect my teeth!

Very nice. I always ask this and get a blank look in response. I like the lack of context in the illo itself.

Excellent idea....you know, I have never seen that whole movie, but I have seen THAT part, and that scene has left an imprint on my brain for years...very creepy. Nice work!
