OK, as promised here are some more samples from the gigantic series of line art created for a single customer. I’ll probably post many of these on my Design Page, if I haven’t already, since they are good examples of a consistent style carried through an extended project. I call it line art, since it’s…
A few days ago I posted an article here about painting in a series or group of similar images. I got to thinking how that’s not only a process relevant to fine art. I do a lot of illustration work also and here’s an example of where, at the request of the customer, I got…
