Two Helens Agree ...

watercolor and pen and ink

I had a grand day out on Saturday which included a trip to the paper counter at Pearl Art Supply, so here's a new watercolor sketch to kick the tires. It's Winsor & Newton hot-pressed 140lb., which may be my new fave paper. Shown here is Shaenon Garrity's Helen Narbon, who has apparently forgotten that she left a Hot Pocket in her fusion-powered microwave oven. Well, either Dave or Artie will clean up the mess.

And here's an earlier attempt at Helen, painted in gouache.

(It would take me too long to do 40 Helens, sorry ...)

Brain on Vacation

Here's a test painting for a recent illustration gig. Lately I've been playing with having large areas of black ink in my watercolors - it makes a nice graphic contrast that I can build the painting around. (Which artist was it that called black "the prince of colors"?)

And here's a slight re-design of Micki from Smithson. I'm still playing with the features of most of the characters, trying to tighten up their designs. Micki looks a little angry here, but I kind of like her revamped hairstyle.
