Sisters With Transistors

Love it!

Is this a tie-in with Mr. Oizo's new movie?

no, we came up with Sid (the bug) last year. He's more of a stick insect or mantis of variable size....

I didn't think there was any serious possibility of a link, just an amusing coincidence. Mantids are rad.

I'm doing a 2 page spread today where he's bursting out of a tiny little car window and he becomes like 10 stories tall and islooming over the city...

Cool! This reminds me of something that would be in a punk zine or the walls of WZBC.

Still polishing off the pencils, but have you seen this? John Byrne has been doing unauthorized x-men stories (pencils only, but..) that pick up at the end of dark phoenix with an alternate ending that they separate the phoenix force (I know, not originally intended, but it didn't come from nowhere) from Jean... his pencils are so killer, you have to see it...

drool!

That's some confident penciling. Such a shame that this stuff has to get so cleaned/sterilized to make it out to press. Thanks for passing my way!

you have to be using HB lead or harder for that, no blue line.... the guy is awesome although when you realize he's over 70 and has been doing it for like 55+ years? he oughta be. Totally mind bending art skills, he claims to average a page a day!

The light hit the right side poorly, greying it out (and the left side gets blurry) but you get the idea.

the actual squared off style of the graphiti is really boring so I jetisoned it in favor of splattines.... I emean, I didn't draw the building correctly, it was a lst minute add on

thanks, I sweat all of this stuff as I'm doing it, at the end of a piece I get really nervous... I'm always busy with the white paint... which aside from second guessing is useful for adding last minute style points in negative space. White paint, whiteout markers and white gel pens....

I suspect that's only because it's a new routine/project. If you're still illustrating at this pace a few years from now, you'll be executing like it's all carved in stone. No doubt, no touch-up...

... orrrr you'll transition to illustrating on Wacom or iPad Pro so you can sweat it all with an undo/redo queue. ;)
