I've been at this illustration stuff for over twenty years now and it's interesting to look through old work. I am adding older illustrations to my Flickr set and came across a few interesting ones I had forgotten about, here are four of them.
Archives: Utne Reader 1992
This is an illustration I did for the Utne Reader in 1992, just before or as I was going digital. This was for a story about oil fields and Indian reservations, if I remember correctly. This image was done using watercolor and ink. I lightly penciled the drawing onto watercolor paper and then inked it, followed by watercolor washes. Occasionally the watercolor would cover up the ink creating an interesting translucent effect. Some of the line work remains in this piece which now actually bothers me a bit but at the time fit into the unfinished happenstance method I'm still using as a part of my process.
