The Trees Forgive Me, The Pebbles Forgive Me
Finished this the other day for More Magazine, on an article about Reeve Lindbergh (daughter of Charles Lindbergh; Spirit of St. Louis, the Lindbergh baby, etc). It was a quick job, but it made me feel that at least to some degree my colors are starting to really match well with my line work. I could have done all the line work with my wacom in a few minutes, but since it seems like ALL I EVER DO anymore is use my wacom, I decided to do this in ink. I really enjoy drawing the reflections on glasses.
I was going to wait and do a progress post about this, but couldn't really stand not showing anyone immediately. It is for a cover for a new Type album....and I have got to say, this kind of makes up for all the shitty work I have been doing recently. Matthew Mitchel (of Skallander, who's album this is for) just pretty simply wanted a drawing of his head decaying, or aging, or something along those lines. I kind of went out of control with this thing, and it took me almost a month to actually get down on paper. The original is like 15" X 15" and I can't stop looking at it.In other news, I am obsessed with the new Snapple Green Tea and yesterday found two new flavors I didn't know existed. Mango is pretty iffy, nectarine is amazing, and I haven't tried the pear yet. I think I just prefer the regular green tea the most though.
And in other pointless news, I watched 6 hours of Lost the other day in preparation for the new season. I would have watched more, but Rachel "Cabbage-Patch" Adams had to go to the gallery and do some work. Quitter.
Speaking of, the button show that I was making is tonight at Lloyd Dobler Gallery from 6-10. Apparently there are button grab-bags? I don't really know what is going on with the whole thing, I just know I will be there. If you are in the city, you should try and stop by:
1545 W. Division. 2nd floor

i am no quitter. maybe we should just do all the 12 hours of lord of the rings tonight instead. huh?
that looks magnificent
if you're free anytime please put up a progress post
we'd love to see how you whipped that up!
Hey there, I'm loving your more recent work, its beautiful. I was just going through your site and loved how you can track some of your progress.
I'm curious on some of your pieces it looks as though there's brush work in the different shading layers, yet it looks digital. Are you actually brushing out shapes, scanning them and then altering them or is there another process to this?
the pear is spectacular. cause i dont like cold green tea, but i like that kind.
