Do you do all your work in ink, sparrowhawk? I used to do quite a bit of drawing, but most of mine was graphite/charcoal. Powdered graphite....talk about messy
I used to do a lot of work in acrylics, but people seemed to like my ink drawings better, and my reputation as a small press and gallery artist rests on the ink drawings, and that's the medium I'm most comfortable with. I like the fine detail possible with pen and ink. Unfortunately, the heyday of ink as a major medium is long past, so I'm something of a dinosaur.
Pip asked about other work: this is a cover I did in acrylics for Space and Time Magazine. Not particularly good, is it.
I agree with ghost. It has a nice retro feel. And the starfish thingies make me think of War of the Worlds for some reason.
Actually, Pip, you might be thinking of a Japanese movie that featured starfish like aliens almost precisely like I painted. As Voltaire said, when I steal something, I leave my knife. And hey, Hobie, I got lots of things to do, like smoke my pipe! And draw nice, pastoral pictures. :D
Well, nope. I haven't seen the Japanese movie. lol It was War of the Worlds b/c I read it this summer. Never mind that the description of the aliens in the book is nothing like those starfish, that's what they triggered in my mind.
