SCRATCHBOARD IS NOT A BLOGSITE
Scratchboard is an illustrative style wherein ink is scratched off a white board. It's scratched off. The board. Scratched. This was a backpage illo for the Austin Chronicle published during the Dia De Los Muertos celebration. For a full-size image, scroll down to February's posts, and see "DEAD ZONE". The purple funk is deleted.
SPACED-OUT, MAN
Here's a traditional (NO DIGITAL) illustration for Steck Vaughn Raintree Publishing. The "textbook" people. Rapidograph pens, Kohinor inks, and real watercolor paper. A math equation was later added in the bubble.
CRUSADES
Oil on canvas 36" x 24". Typical of my late-night works.
SERIOUSLY, NOW
A pencil illo also for Steck Vaughn. They relaxed their white-washed rules regarding ethnic depiction, in order to allow African-American features and natural hair in this drawing for an adult textbook. (I refused to resubmit a drawing with unbraided hair and unrealistic features.)
MORE INK
An editorial illustration for the Chronicle, regarding an annual Poetry-Slam. The Chron folks are great to work with, and allow a lot of creative freedom."Hey, draw something" is a typical editorial direction.
LAZARUS
Oil on canvas / 36" x 24". The 2" thumbnail of this piece does it no justice...
IN MEMORIUM
Ben Aaron Anglin...best son, ever. 1983-2007
UPDATE: MY OCCASIONALLY AMUSING COMIC STRIP IS STILL IN LIMBO
When PC dies, maybe I'll go back to doing these for the Statesman...
