Brush Tool in Illustrator

Sketched up the same way you'd use a ballpoint pen. I need to get a lot closer to illustrator. I understand a lot of its vector goodness, but I'm still novice level.
This is getting fun. Got a brush doing some very expressive thick to thin and got something loose like I like. And of course the illustrator illo is totally scalable. Just exporting high rez JPGs for the blog.
It's official now. I'm having too much fun
I thought this post could stand one more dollop before bed time. It's 11 where I am. It's 9 in my beautiful California. I weep.

My TAG Comic Book Contribution




So strong as a visual storyteller I don't have to do balloons

TAG Book update

I'm still taking entries, and will be for a couple of weeks yet.  I'm slowly putting it together, but I need more art.  I've made another appeal to the Seattle crew, but I need to get more from the old timers.  SEND ME STUFF!

Digital Painting Tips

Good Stuff. I'll use this slot to link to some humongous size Kirby art I got off the auction pages.
As promised. Big Ass Auction JPGs of old Simon and Kirby art. One page is all Simon. auction-kirby-01 auction-kirby-02 auction-kirby-03 auction-kirby-04 auction-Simon-01 auction-kirby-05

Think anyone could actually watch all these?

128! episodes times 5 , 5 minute cartoons per episode... that's ...a whole lotta crap. - The Mighty Hercules Hercules, hero of song and story. Hercules, winner of ancient glory. Fighting for the right, Fighting with his might, With the strength of ten, ordinary men. Hercules, people are safe when near him. Hercules, only the evil fear him. Softness in his eyes, Iron in his thighs, Virtue in his heart, Fire in every part, Of the Mighty Hercules. Join us at his side, Standing there with pride, Victory is here, Raise a mighty cheer, At the sight of Hercules.
OLYMPIA! I watched the first half hour show. Hilariously bad. I imagine the laughs start to dry up after about 3 programs of 4 or 5 bad cartoons apiece.
