So there you go. What'd I tell ya? (She'll be B&W in the zine, but I can never resist color on my own time.) This one's for you, cacophonyofcolour.

What brand of gouache do you use? Have you tried using student-grade gouache, particularly Lefranc & Bourgeois Fine Gouache? I am always told to stay away from student grades, but I was also told that if they worked for me (color-wise), I should be fine. I am worried about "permanency", or that my gouache paintings will break down in the future.

I enjoy Winsor & Newton a lot. I've never used Lefranc & Bourgeois before, but I used Daler Rowney throughout school. (Is that considered student grade? I don't know. I still use it occasionally and I like them ok, but oh man, their yellow ochre! what happened? s'not good.) About the worst thing I've experienced with "lower-quality" gouache is that there will be more variation in how the paint dries, so that you'll get some colors that dry with an annoying semi-gloss for some reason. But my older paintings done in said "lower-quality" gouache are still holding up just fine! I think you should be good so long as you mix (mix (MIX!)) your colors, look for a nice even consistency in the pigment of your paints, and be mindful about storage. That way, your works should last you a good while!

Good luck!

We’re Snowed-in Here In Baltimore, And It’s Making Me Miss Warmer Weather, Green Things, Flora...
We’re Snowed-in Here In Baltimore, And It’s Making Me Miss Warmer Weather, Green Things, Flora...

We’re snowed-in here in Baltimore, and it’s making me miss warmer weather, green things, flora...

So here is a beer label I designed and illustrated for Union Craft Brewing’s special spring-time saison that they crafted exclusively for Atomic Books in Hampden. A wonderful pairing of comics “for mutated minds” and a light, fruity ale.

I've always wanted to illustrate beer and wine labels and this was a really fun way to dip my toe in. I hope I get the chance to do more!

Cartoon Quickdraw

Cartoon Quickdraw is a fun and likely goofy journey into nostalgia in which you choose a classic cartoon character (video games too), draw them in a minute from memory and throw the drawings into a pile. The drawings are revealed, the best and worst are chosen and, in hard core versions of the game, the worst drawing gets tattooed in permanent marker on its artists' arm. Fortunately we didn't do that when we played last night or I would have a totally wrong Rocko-as-a-puppy, a doofy Megaman or a ridiculous Foot soldier (TMNT!) on my arm right now. Can you figure out the rest of the characters?

Good way to keep your doodling fresh, but more importantly just hilarious times (note backwards-hand Sonic).
