Cityscape


Inspired by the work of Paul Madonna of San Francisco (check out his archives of All Over Coffee, an innovative comic), I felt a need to draw tall, thin buildings.

I try never to let reality interfere with my imagery, so don't look for architectural sense here. The colorful one must be Teddy B's townhouse.

First attempt to use the frustratingly water-resistant Moleskine sketchbook with Zig pens and colored w/c pencil, washed. Worked ok.

Nita, it's so colorful, it's better than reality. Love it.

I tried a message before this with the lettering and it didn't work. Hope this one does.

Nita - I really like this, and your comment "I try never to let reality interfere with my imagery". That made me smile. Thanks for pointing us toward Paul Madonna, too ... wow, he has quite an eye, doesn't he!
