IF: The Blues


This came straight out of my sketchbook... I was gonna choose one to do a bigger illustration, but eventually I decided to just scan everything, color it and call it a day. Believe me, this is just a small list of things that can really give me the blues.

  15. Hey, you have a really solid style, cute but not kitschy, with a certain japanese-like elegance and simplicity. Nice piece!

    And yeah, I was using pretty thick tracing paper, or transprency paper - I don´t really know what the proper description for this is, but it is especially made for ink drawing.

    Greetings,

  16. ... and my god, the crying toilet is ace!

    Non-living things having faces and emotion seems a pretty asian thing to me - like when batteries cry when they are treated wrong or something.

  17. To Frederik:
    you probably use design vellum? I like to use that too!

    Thanks for your kind comment! I do draw faces on a lot of things... it just never occurs to me that it might be an Asian thing... I think you are right about that!! Haha! :)
