sterlinghundley: “Molting” from Sterling Hundley’s Blue Collar/White Collar monograph by Adhouse Books. “Illustration is Blue Collar – both pervasive and accessible. It is art that must survive in spite of commerce and function. There is a desperation to the thing; illustration that doesn’t work doesn’t eat. Given limitations in time to communicate and the space in which to do it, illustration must answer a question. Fine Art is White Collar – reclusive with airs of mystery and sophistication. It is pursued. Given the abundance of space in which it is viewed and the time which it is afforded, fine art has the luxury of asking a question.”

ghostco: Just another quick practice piece. I am trying to simplify line work and “color” separations as much as possible, while still having them (or at least the line work) stupidly complex. This is by no means anything to write home about, but I think it came out pretty nicely.  Somewhere between “needing to get laid” drawings and “unicorn” drawings, there are “girls are babes” drawings. And really, does anyone need anymore reason to draw than that? It has also recently come to light that I have a serious weakness for clavicles and ridiculously large hoop earrings. Maybe this has to do with my long-standing fantasy of having a Cholita girlfriend that will protect me in knife fights.
