Old School Inspiration
I got to hang out with some incredible folks this weekend and discovered that I have a lot to learn. A couple local comic professionals along with their highly knowledgeable friends walked me through an amazing collection of old books, newspaper illustrations, original artwork for about 9 hours on Saturday. About 15 minutes after we started I realized the best thing for me to do was shut up and just start letting it soak in.
What you see above is hopefully the first of many steps toward some more realistic approaches to my illustrations. I’m not giving up the cartoony stuff but man was I inspired to kick it up a notch. (Thanks guys.)
Oh, and you can go ahead and consider this an apology for Friday’s disturbing creation as well. Sorry ’bout that (but it probably won’t be the last time).

This reminds me of a character from Apartment 3G. I can’t remember her name though. This is going to be on my mind all day.

I was thinking it looked kind of like David Bowie.

Funny, there was some 3G conversation yesterday but I did not see any. So, cool.
But… David Bowie???

I suppose I can see the Bowieness, but not until someone put the thought in my head. Liking the subtle makeup.
