There's a fundraiser going on tonight for Pittsburgh's Future Tenant art gallery called Sugar Factory. I donated an original 10"x10" piece titled "Hollywood."

This work is a culmination of sorts, taking my recent obsession with stick figures to a visual and thematic climax. If you're interested in my description of this piece that will accompany it at the show, check out this PDF.

The image you see above is a scanned and cleaned up version of the original. While they're almost identical, they're not exactly the same. I flattened the colors for the web because the original was done in marker. Here's a photo of the original. And here's the digital version on deviantART.

Starting next week, I'm going to launch a step-by-step look at the making of this cartoon (I call it "Monster Guy")! From the line art through to the finished product, I'll show you each stop along the way and explain why I made the choices I made.

In the meantime, check out this NSFW piece (I call it "Hollywood") that I contributed to an upcoming fundraiser for Pittsburgh's Future Tenant art gallery.

I'm baaaaack! I took a brief hiatus to go to SPACE and give a talk and make a video and then to catch up on Super Haters. And thusly Green Thursdays has returned.

Not much to say this week except that it's the last week of Green Lantern where I feel like I'm dealing with conceptually tame or potentially uninteresting material. But... this sketch makes me think of this: "ROWR! ROWR! Like a Dungeon Dragon!"
