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.
