I was invited to contribute to a David Bowie themed art show in Dallas, and admitting a cursory knowledge of his catalogue (highlighted by I'm Afraid of Americans with NIN mastermind Trent Reznor), I felt most compelled to pay homage to his portrayal of Nikola Tesla in The Prestige. Having seen and loved most everything by director Christopher Nolan, I felt this was a concept I could run with and keep within my typical aesthetic. Drawing electrocuted cat = fun!
Challenging myself to work a little larger, and with less comfortable tools, I worked on a sheet of 11x14 bristol board using a Pentel pocket brush pen. I'm enjoying the line quality you can get with a brush vs a fixed width technical pen, and working a little larger seems to be helping as well. Hatching with a brush is a little awkward at first, but it's starting to make sense to me.
