“Meanwhile, Below” Print For Sale

Hey folks! It’s been a long time coming, but I finally have a new print for sale. For those of you who have been following my work, you probably recognize the Lollypop Squid from a previous print of mine.
This new print, Meanwhile, Below, is offered in my store as a 12″x12.5″ giclée on 13″x15″ acid-free fine art paper and ships signed by me, the artist.
While I’m really happy with how this piece came out, it’s been a long journey to get it to this point. I actually started the piece last winter, initially rendering it as a pencil drawing.
At the time, I was mimicking the workflow of many digital illustrators by starting with a pencil drawing and then moving to digital coloring. However, my method of digital coloring was a bit… complicated. Slow, tedious — those would also be apt descriptions. I mean, the results were always great, but I really didn’t enjoy the process and I was really getting bogged down while working on this one.
After a good month (yes, month — perhaps longer, but that’s too embarrassing to admit to) or so of working on this print, I gave up. I needed to find a new way of working. So, I set this print aside and started experimenting, looking for better, faster, more enjoyable ways to make pictures.
Comparing the final image to what I made a year ago, I think it’s clear that all that work hasn’t gone to waste. There were certainly some nice elements to the early piece, but I’m much happier with the results I’m getting now. More importantly, I’m much happier while I’m working, which is also really important.
Once again, if you’d like to have a copy of this print for yourself, you can find them in my online store.

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m proud to announce that I finally have an online store! For the grand opening, I’m starting out with giclée prints of three of my Lovebot illustrations. The prints come on 13″x19″ acid-free fine art paper and have an image area of 12.25″x15.5″. I brought these prints with me to APE this year and they stopped a lot of people in their tracks as they walked by our table. Especially this one. If you are at all tempted to purchase one of these prints, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
If you have any questions or concerns about the store, please let me know. Happy shopping!
