Prints are on my mind for this one, definitely. It doesn’t look like it will print on Threadless. Prints are on my mind for this one, definitely.

I have been reading your blog every once in a while, but I am annoyed to check it just to see nothing new. I would love to know if you offer RSS subscribtions, which I would instantly put into my feed reader :) I really love the artwork, wolves always work for me just as vampires or skulls.

Wouldn't the moon's phase finish the rest of the month? Doesn't the Earths shadow cast the opposite side of the moon after a full moon? But then again... I don't think it really matters, especially in this case. Great work! I really like this!

Great work!

David, I have been working with a real brush and ink, Manga Studio 4, Painter X, and Photoshop. All over the board lately. Each for their merits. Mike, thanks. I went for the overt depiction for "depression" because something more subdued didn't seem like enough of a departure from bargaining. A strong image was pretty necessary, I thought, because of it's juxtaposition with the unabashed fury and glee of "acceptance." Whattya think? This was done in MS4, yup. GC, sure!

Hm, Lon Cheney Jr. as grief counsellor. What a great idea for a diagram. The expressions in the faces are spot-on -- except for depression. As someone who if familiar with depression, it's a bit over-the-top for me. Depression is more like a glazed eye and blank face than scrunched up in grief. I really like how you textured the earth. Veddy nice, indeedy. Also nice how you went for a non-Western/African-centric view of ol' terra-firma. Is this piece all digital? I did get Manga Studio 4 and (aside from the poor typography abilities of its text tool) it is a really improved version. the Pencils, Brush and such are just as fast/responsive as ver. 3 on the PowerPC chip. Are you still using Painter X? Hope threadless accepts your design! Again, great concept wonderfully executed! Great work. Hm, Lon Cheney Jr. as grief counsellor. What a great idea for a diagram.
