Im musing on the graphic design of a card or a cover here. A last minute impulse to try. Watercolor and pen on Arches paper

A second auction piece. Ive not been making artwork to show for a while and, just like anything I do, it takes some time for me to warm up. As a story artist my work is done in intense bursts yet I must also regard it as disposable. A conundrum about the job. You have to invest in it for it to be any good but detach from it soon as its had its day in the sunlight. Either half isnt easy to do (I dont even think about that, the jobs a blast).

So, switching from "Nobody will see this" to "Im putting this on the wall for all to see" can strip the gears some. It doesnt help that we draw digitally on a screen. No actual paint, graphite or ink. This auction keeps me in shape for a larger piece I have to work on. Theres a project were working on for this year that I have to have done in a month. More on that later.
