Every artist has their favorite tool -- mine is a permanent black Sharpie®. Above is a recent tribute to Sharpie® and my (hopefully) last draft of the Get Ugly with Brilliance character. The color and white areas are Prismacolor pencil. I used leftover gray scrap board (generic) that I originally purchased for something else.
I have a pesky habit of buying frames at resale stores and thrift stores. I threw away over a dozen when I moved; these three I kept with me through my move and was determined to put them to use. Glad I did. I was clumsy enough to break one of the pieces of glass, so I went for the matte look (which, I generally prefer, so I am still surprised at my initial disappointment when I shattered the glass). I have an ideal spot for this guy -- right above my computer, since he makes me smile every time I look at him.. .and I spend too much time on my computer; smiling while I work is always a bonus.
