I think this cartoon self-portrait sums me up pretty well. Generally, I’m a pretty lucky/happy guy. He shaved his head and beard and wore a lot of black.

This self-portrait represents the graphic type art I work in—high contrast, not a whole lot of color. Mostly vectorized line art with simple shape fills.

Inked with Rapidograph 3.0 ink tip and black India ink on transparent vellum paper. Scanned and cleaned up line art in Adobe Photoshop. Autotraced and colored vector art with the blob tool in Adobe Illustrator.

Thanks, Swanie

On a side note, I want to thank Michael Swanson (a fellow Swanie) for letting me have swanie.com. I’m excited to put this site to good use.
