Cover Illustration: Steve Leach "Songs for Squares"
Texas "Folk Swing" musician Steve Leach has a new CD coming out, and I was lucky enough to be commissioned by him to create the cover artwork and illustration for this new album. He wanted a sweet illustration evocative of a different era, but also timeless. We settled on a painting of dancers lost in the moment. The hand lettering is analog brush with digital color. Visit his site and have a listen to his fun songs.
Hoarding Squirrel
The quail agree, squirrels are the WORST.
Another all digital experiment.

Trying out some new techniques. This illustration is all digital, using the excellent Photoshop brushes made by illustrator Kyle Webster to replicate my analog paint-on-paper style. I used several of the big wash brushes and the gouache and detail brushes. I did modify the brushes that used a multiply mode in order to more accurately mimic how paint on paper would react. Looking forward to playing with these brushes more and experimenting with the flexibility that all digital allows.
