Original Art: eBay Auctions

I thought I'd try something new, and see if there's interest in my original inked drawings for the Ottawa X Press. As a trial, today I've listed 4 drawings for auction. If it goes well, you can expect to see more...

Vector Art: My Process

1. Scan sketch into Photoshop. Save as jpeg. Receive approval from client. In this case, ChickaDEE magazine.



2. "Ink" the sketch using the brush tool in Adobe Illustrator. Wacom tablet required.



3. On a lower layer, placed beneath my "Ink" layer (so that said layer is visible), I create polygon shapes with the pen and pencil tool to block in the colour. This is what those shapes look like with the Ink layer not visible.



4. Save file. Send via email. Invoice client.

Studio: Life Drawing

Last night I finally made it to the Sandy Hill Community centre for one of their Wednesday night figure drawing sessions. I had been struggling with a project, and had to get out of the house. I was so glad I went - great to be in a class-like atmosphere again. It only took me a year to get around to going, after finding out about it from Matthew Stewart. Thanks, Matt!

Two tone

One way I enjoy sketching is to employ 2 different shades of pencil crayon. Example:

Happy New Year, Muttonhead!

Here's an old concert poster I did for my friend Travis' band... this is going way back to '97.

My lizard, Chummer, chowing down on a scrumptious cricket. Chummer is an illegal immigrant. He stowed away in a bouquet of flowers from my wedding in St. Lucia.
