There is some blurring around the top of the image, but this is infinitely better than the digital photo I took right after I finished painting it. I haven't really painted in years and never painted that much to begin with, but I have had a box of cheap acrylic paints sitting around for a while. I saved a ton of cardboard from when I bought my bed and finally decided to use some of it.I have also been determined the last few days to do more freelance illustration and graphic design. I need things for my portfolio and more money so it is a win/win situation. Since my freelance activities had dropped from a trickle to nothing, even half a job is an improvement. Today I exchanged some emails about a job for a gig poster and did a quick design in Illustrator based on an old photo:
I am totally jumping the gun on this, but I like how it turned out. Fingers crossed. Even if it doesn't end up being used, I think it is a decent first try at a gig poster.

Both of these pieces of artwork are completely bitchin. The first is really unique because of the imaginary color. I know your medium of choice is pen and cardboard, but if you ever decided to switch to watercolor or high quality paper, you may enjoy how watercolor pencils perform because they create similar effects and are easily controlled and interesting to experiment with. The second piece is just ultimately creative and your work in that area always inspires the right side of my brain.
