Spent much of the day wor­king on “Fred 44″, an 18x24 inch, ink & pen­cil on paper.
Right now it’s mostly pen­cil, but there’s a bit of pen action going on. The lat­ter will inc­rease in the later sta­ges of the dra­wing.
I have a new Sec­ret Evil Plan as to what to with this dra­wing, once it’s done. Watch this space. Rock on.

  1. I like it, it looks like a big bust­ling city from a bird’s-eye view. Keep up the good work.

    I have been rea­ding your blog for a while and find your work very inte­res­ting. As a high school art stu­dent, I just have one ques­tion: why do you never use color, or anything other than ink and pen­cil? Is it just a pre­fe­rence thing? I know that I love wor­king with new mediums and expe­ri­men­ting with color all the time. As an artist, even part-time, I don’t really see why you would cons­trict your­self to just one or two mediums. You are obviously crea­tive and talen­ted enough to branch out to other types of dra­wings and maybe even pain­tings.
    I’d like to hear your opinion/reason for this.
