its 4am.
i just inked a comic page.
earlier today i read a nate powell comic about how sleep is an enemy. could this be true, is my oldest ally now my enemy? i dunno. but it is four and i am productive, take that rem sleep. i have music on really low, i have my window open listening to the sounds of the city night. only a dim desk lamp illuminates my drawing table, tomorrow i will be tired, but the night is for poets & madmen.

Crime Tips!

I drew this last night and colored it today, I am still unfinished with it. There is something missing from the overall asthetic of it. Some kind of old newsprint dinge to the color. I am usually disappointed with the color half tone, ben day dot look, it still doesn't match the actual charm of golden age printing. Maybe if I saw it actually printed on newsprint. Why is newspaper so fantastic, it must be the charm of it's low quality. It's fantastic to draw on too.
