   Woo new artist thread!
   
   Had to fiddle with my scanner settings and photoshop to get the colours right, everything seems to come out with high contrast.

   Amalgamated Biscuit: When are you going to drop a full length graphic novel? Your brand of quirky desperation could really work well over 200 pages...

   Got nothing finished to show since I've been battling with my insane sleeping patterns (it seems I get tired only about 3-4 hours before work when it is too late to sleep properly) and trying to focus on NaNoWriMo (and failing) so these are only very raw sketches. But this is how I enjoy drawing the most.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Blue ballpoint on A5 sized squared paper (actually B5 is even more enjoyable cause it's slightly larger... think roughly comic book-sized but wider).

   I do a lot of work for silkscreen, otherwise known as the redheaded stepchild of printing. Sometimes a limited color and simple shape illustration comes together and I don't think I'd change it to full color/detail even if I could:
   
   
   
   ...other than maybe add a shark.

   A copy of The Cider House Rules that I painted on for my roommate's birthday; she's a big John Irving fan and hadn't read this one:
   
   Got the idea for painting a book from seeing some of Frank Chimero's book paintings on apartmenttherapy.com, and wanted to do something similar, and was then magically directed by a link in the comments section there to the artist Ray Fenwick, who also paints on book covers, although his are torn off of books beforehand... Anyway, I used Fenwick's typography work as a direct inspiration, but went a different way by actually using the content of the book on the outside (it's the last line of the book, which Irving always writes first, which I thought would be a cool little tidbit...).
   
   And this is a painting I did for a body of work that I was trying to put together for a show, but it didn't really fit with the other wood ones I was doing, since it was more like my striped socks/scarf paintings that I did a few months ago, and I sold 3 of the paintings I was working on, anyway, so now I have to start putting together more work... But his glasses are the Reno sign from my town, Reno...
   
   I've actually since fixed the different blacks... you can see that some are matte and some are shiny, so I had to repaint with a different brand of paint to get it back to shiny in those spots.

    So. Flickr failed me, and I've moved my ongoing wall art - post-its - desk stationary - Shakespeare illustration project to DeviantArt. behold, Day 34:
    
    
    
    
    
    @Ysaka, liking the look of your NanoGraphicMo...a very good place to start, in quiet contemplative meditation.
    
    @iaviv, My frist impression of that was that the Doc had wandered onto the set of a production of Wagner's Ring cycle and stolen Wotan's eyepatch.

    @Amalgamated Biscuit - I'm with Frequentcontributor. Your stuff has the potential to make a very successful graphic novel.

    @FredG - That's really great. Love the simplicity. Very calming.
    
    @NeilFord - dude, that's gnarly. I'm tempted to say radical, as well.
    
    here's a lil' Matt Murdock to tickle your mind-taints:

    @EaselFish - I can't blame you for that. I've absolutely no idea why he's wearing an eyepatch, by the way. Those comics were always hard to follow...
    I really like what you've done with post-its. Kinda makes me want to do something like that myself.
