I had hoped to show you my special new project this week, but alas, it was not to be so. Instead, here’s a look at one of my earlier attempts at realism with my ink painting. Records show that this butterfly is from 2006. I’m definitely more confident in my work now, but it’s always interesting to look back and see where I’ve come from.
In the meantime thanks for stopping by, and please keep checking Sunday ink this week for something totally new and intriguing.
Pip pip!
And here’s something for those zombie loving kids. Garrrrrrgh, etc.
This black and white ink painting was a gift for my good friend AC Galaga. AC and I collaborated on his comics anthology GenkiFace while I was living in Japan. The magazine was full of funny and insightful comics, as well as some cool cartoons from AC himself. This particular image pays homage to Alex Ross’s subtle and moving depiction of Superman, combined with the GenkiFace mask. You can compare this with the originals below (click to enlarge).
