After Bill Sienkiewicz

nice stuff floop !

thanks, man. to pmdancer too. hi.

Thanks for posting, everyone... Let's keep it going! Thanks, pmoondancer, actually the illustrations, (except for the humpty dumpty painting, which was a cd cover for children's music,) were made for my portfolio. I was trying to get into children's book illustration after teaching art for a long while.

This was the first in a series I did with very specific line patterns, creating a very flat 3D effect, if that makes sense. I first drew the entire thing out in pencil, then started painting in the lines. Every time a line ran into a painted line, it had to go "under" it.



Here's more of a closeup





Here's some detail that shows how no 2 lines ever cross. These are extremely fine lines, drawn in pencil and painted with a brush that had about 2 hairs in it. I'm amazed looking back at it 30 years later at how few times, if any, that I screwed up and hit another line. Something tells me my eyes and hands couldn't pull this off anymore.

Creativity, patience, and a steady hand! Almost looks electric.

This was the next in the series, made in one marathon session from about 8 in the morning until 2 or 3 the following morning, with just a few breaks to eat. Once I'd get started I was so excited to see it evolve that I couldn't stop.





Here's how it looks without the blacklight. You can see one set of circles that I decided not to paint, as I like the dark border around it and thought it would get too busy with those painted in. EDIT: Oops, wrong image on this one






Here's detail of the middle that shows again how no 2 lines ever touch. Some of those orange ones are just a pin-drop of paint.

those are cool Poz, neat stuff...

Great work Poz! Is that acrylic on paper?

I know what you mean. I can can get a little manic when painting too!

Thanks! It's just plain old poster paint on paper. I've always wondered if any "real" artists did anything serious with fluorescent. I always found it very interesting that you could make fluorescent brown, that's not something you see every day.
