A couple of new pieces. First off:
I like to return to old pieces that I think have potential to be better than they were. This was a student piece - a scene from a New Orleans jazz funeral - that I thought could be updated. Here's the original:
I've tweaked the value structure, livened the lines, muted the colors, and given it a much needed visual resting space. Also, I don't know why the coffin was solid gold in the original...Needless to say, this drawing took a long time to create, and a long time to revise.
Nice, Mike! I have not had the patience to revise any of my illustrations, but you have inspired me to try again. Also, "Tumbleweed" seems epic!
