illustration friday "tea"

Getting back into vector art with this week's Illustration Friday theme: "tea".

I was drawing this freehand in adobe Illustrator when it crashed on me half way through. I save every fifteen minutes or so, but when you consider I do these illustrations in about an hour or two at most, it was worth a swear or two at how much I lost. ;)

Unshelved Guest Strip

guest strip



Those friends who already read this comic may have already seen this today, but I have a guest strip up for Unshelved, by Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum, at www.overduemedia.com, the only comic around set in a public library. My friend Les got me reading it over a year ago now. I had one hell of a headache those couple days when I was plowing through the archives!

I'm no expert at black and white inking, but I'm pretty happy with it all the same! Oh, and to anyone visiting from the Unshelved site, welcome and I hope you enjoy the art here.

Planning rough


Planning rough, originally uploaded by alida saxon.

Finally! I've been trapped under a mountain of rush work the last couple months, but I can finally do a piece of my own design and I'm working on some roughs on the computer. I rather like doign my roughs in photoshop lately as it allows me to move things around more easily than putting pen to paper.
