I've just done a spate of illustrations for Lone Star Press and my friend Bill Williams. These are for a forthcoming Wowio book that he's putting out, and I'll let him announce those particulars. I'm sure he won't mind me telling you to check out his books over there, though.
These are illustrations for a prose book, and I wanted to do them in a kind of classic pen illustration style. But I don't have any of those crow quills anymore, and was never all that comfortable with one anyway. So I decided to work all in brush. This one, a picture of an old-time coffin shop, turned out particularly well. I like that there are no ruler straight lines. I think I got some interesting textures, too. And working with only one gray helps keep it simple yet interesting while separating the image nicely.
