New Artwork!
Here's a piece that I recently finished for the Cartoon Art Museum benefit auction. Since I've heard of folks out there printing digital artwork and selling it themselves, I've left out a couple of details that will only appear on the auction art.

Jeff, Truly awesome--funny, animated & expressive!!!
What are your drawing tools of the trade?
I drew this on a high-end Wacom Cintiq tablet (http://www.wacom.com/cintiq/21UX.cfm). Sometimes my accuracy and line quality suffer, but the trade-off is for the flexibility.
Digital drawing allows me maximum control over every element of the picture, plus I can isolate different elements onto separate layers, not unlike animation cels atop painted backgrounds. Color is the biggest plus for me - I have difficulty figuring out my color scheme ahead of time!
Yay! Another great Happy Beaver drawing!
Looks Great Jeff ! Vintage Pidge for sure. Be careful though, As Floyd Normans cartoon said " Were are now going to now be doing it all on the i Phone."
I can almost hear the theme
music from Popeye right after
he eats that can of spinach
wonderful art!
Jeff, Thanks for the information. I've been toying with getting one for ages. At the moment I hand draw/ink & clean-up, color, etc on Photoshop.
Again, awesome drawing!!!

The advantage to that is - you've got original art to sell if you want. Me, I got bupkiss. And I had to pay two grand for the privilege!
Nice, Jeff! But as to 'bupkiss'--I would guess you can still locate at least one pen & some suitable paper around the house...or can you?!

I can still find art supplies - and even use them! - but I'm just saying after working on a digital piece, I have no 'original' to speak of! :)
