Samurai Slate coming along

Last night's cleanup of Slate - probably won't be able to work all these into the actual strip. Using virtual zip a tone. So easy.. so fun. And no sticky mess!

Inks of sketches

Just sharing the "finals" on this project -- will link to client web site when all is up.

Rewarding Freelance

What fun!! If only freelance was more like this and less like reality. This is the halfway mark of creating icons for web links. They will be very small indeed so it's all about reduction of detail and using bold strokes. It's something I never was able to achieve till I hit my 40s. Somehow, whether through laziness or maturity, I found myself able to let go of cross hatching and zipatone and not worry about the shape as much as the idea it communicates. Work like this makes me smile when it comes out of me!! Make no mistake, I'd rather have Wally Wood's eye than Keith Harings. But I am proud of these little blobs of graphite.
