Art Post: "The Letter" Four Panel Strip

Here's another older piece that I created in pen and ink. Aena has written an embarrassing love letter to Suko (the young man), and Zalanda sees this as the perfect opportunity to mock her for it (and share it with Suko!). Please click on the image to see a larger version.

Media: pen and ink
Paper: Borden and Riley #234 Paris bleedproof paper for pens
Dimensions: varying panel sizes, on two sheets of 11" x 14" paper)
Vintage: late 2002
Digital: minor cleanup in Photoshop

Art Post: Single Panel Cartoon


This is an older piece that I created in ink and wash (the water from the washes caused the paper to ripple). Aena is looking at real estate advertised in the newspaper classifieds. She's happened upon poor D. Fish here, who is quite desperate to sell.

Media: ink and wash
Paper: Borden and Riley #234 Paris bleedproof paper for pens
Dimensions: 9" x 12" (on 11" x 14" paper)
Vintage: late 2002
Digital: minor cleanup in Photoshop
