More From The Archives

Here's a piece that I did for a friend's wedding. They used the art on mugs that they set out on the reception tables - the guests could take them home as gifts!

I like to use brush pens for their finished feel, but it's hard to do an entire drawing without mistakes. The felt-tip kind that I use smear easily, and that's bad for lefties like me! Regardless, I think it (and the mugs) turned out pretty well.

The tricky part was that the drawing would be printed in white on a black mug! That's why nothing is colored in on the original - I didn't want to commit to something, and then find out that it inverted poorly later.

NOTE: I cheated and tweaked this a little in Photoshop. Compare it with the mug photo and discover what's driven me nuts for years!
