IF: Summer

Okay…Lessee…I’ll have to coast again this week and use something I did a-way back when. And, yes, this is the same drawing that I used to put on the disc for IF’s “Digital” subject. But I figured that since the disc only showed a portion of the piece, I’d go ahead and post the whole piece for this week. Hey, and for a bonus, I’ll throw in the rough for free! Woo hoo! (That’s for those of you who like to see stuff like that.) In this piece are a number of ‘things that don’t belong’. Have fun!

I’d have to dig through tear sheets to give you a date on this piece, but my guess is that it was done around 2000. I see I had scanned in part of the rough (which I don’t do now) but still finished off the remainder of the rough–and the final–on computer. Done in Painter 5 or 6, I’d also guess.

Oh…And I’m sorry I can’t make it bigger in a pop-up or something. I don’t know if there’s a plugin for WordPress that will allow for that. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Rest o’ blog
