so cool!!!
That last one is really something. I like how some of your drawings look like the subject is melting.
Your style can sometimes be interpreted as 'realistic cartoon illogic'. At least I think so.
Do you have a favorite brand or style of pencil and have you ever used the now fabled and unavailable Blackwing 602?
- trevor.
p.s.
looking at your drawings while listening to Puff the Magic Dragon is a fantastic combo. :D
so cool!!! So charming stuff.
