Emma Print - WiP 2

My next step up from my last image is the addition of some hard edged shapes to Emma's costume and turning the black ink lines to a blue hue. I also re-touched the hair from the last version, completely deleting the old stuff and re-creating something else. I'm still not all that happy with it. Something is really bugging me about it but I don't know what...

Emma Print - WiP

This is the stage my 3rd print for Wizard World Chicago is at. I am trying a few new techniques out on this, so it may not succeed the way I want it to, but you don't get an omelette without breaking a few eggs, or so they say....

I'll try to post the stages as they progress. If I forget somehow, please forgive me!

Wizard World Chicago 2010 Print - 2 of 4

Here's my second print for Wizard World Chicago. Thanks to all those that voted for this one on my Facebook page. I really appreciate all the help. It was an obvious victory for this one.

I've adjusted the size and played with the hue and saturation of the text to get it to be a bit more red in the halftone dots - they were a bit too dark brown for me an wanted to bring out their red hues. This is much much better for me.

Sydney - Three Variations



I am trying to finalize this image as my second print for Wizard World Chicago, yet I cannot decide which one I like. Each one has it's merits, yet I am undecided as to which one to make the final version. Please help me and tell me if you like 1, 2 or 3 best.

Thanks in advance!

Wizard World Chicago 2010 Print - 1 of 4

I did this illustration a while back, but left the top open for typography; something I never did add. I wanted to re-visit this image for my upcoming appearance at Wizard World Chicago. I added the text and I quite like it. This will be one of four available prints all selling for $5 - hopefully someone will buy it....

"She's Asking Nicely"

Initially, I was boycotting BP for the Gulf disaster, but then a friend of mine passed this article along to me from the Daily Finance website (www.dailyfinance.com/story/media/boycott-bp-that-hurts-station-owners-not-the-company/19499350/) and I decided to take another course of action. This might be a bit more than anyone wants to take, but it is really the only reasonable option out there for voicing our outrage with BP.

"Gold Coast" - 6.22.10

Gold Coast is not a specific region where coffee is grown, but a sophisticated blend of coffees into a superbly bold brew named for the wealthy areas in our cities - the Gold Coast.
