Scopa King, Rough Draft
I mentioned a while ago that I wanted to try doing some board game art illustration, and have made a little progress there. I’ve actually had two leads, but one of them wanted pin-up style stuff. Ugh. They also wanted … Continue reading
Pan Am, Part 2: In Which I Argue with Myself
First, a picture: Aren’t those engines lovely? So… retro and stuff in a way I didn’t expect actual jet engines to have ever been retro. Anyway, on to more Pan Am. I came up with a counterargument to the bit … Continue reading
Friendly Skies
