This card has Tom Lawson’s name on it. It’s sitting on the table until I hear back from him with an address.
This is also the last of this set of postcards. I’ll post the color version tomorrow and Saturday we’ll start reviewing another sketchbook.

Not Really Scary – Color
All dressed up.
Not Really Scary – Black and White
This one went to Kent Mannis.
The post title refers to the idea that many people find clowns frightening. I can’t remember if I thought they were scary when I was a kid. I don’t remember finding them very funny though.
Better Than a Bow and Arrow
Can you feel the love?
Better Than a Bow and Arrow – Black and White
This one went to Barbara. Barbara and I met once or twice many years ago. She was one of the first people who friended me after I put up my MySpace page.
Left Hand – Color
I have birthmark at the base of my thumb. I tend to forget it’s there unless I’m looking at the hand. Obviously I wasn’t looking at my hand when I was doing the coloring here.
Left Hand – Black and White
This card went to Cherie and Rob in Oregon. Yeah, it’s my left hand. Sometimes it’s important to just draw what’s in front of you.
Finnegan – Color
This is Tom Finnegan, the protagonist of Finnegan’s Brink. Finnegan is a graphic novel that Nizzibet and I worked on back in the early ’90s. The publisher who commissioned it shut down before we finished it and the art went into a box. One of our long term plans is to finish the story and get it in to print.
Finnegan – Black and White
This was sent to Nizzibet. You think I’m going to just send one card to my honey?
Footsie – Color
I love Photoshop. I can spend hours testing out different effects, none of which actually improve the illustration. That’s why I try to do most of the heavy lifting for an illustration on paper before I scan it in to the computer. It’s still too easy for me to waste time noodling with filters.
