Sometime around our spring break vacation, I put together a mailing postcard to go out when we got back from the trip. Recycling some recent art that I hoped would showcase a style outside of my usual scratchboard techniques, and also to push the ‘spot illustration’ idea, an area of my business that I felt could use a little pushing. Two of the spots were from the bi-monthly ‘health column’ gig that I’d been doing for years, and the others were for the same client, but different sections of the newspaper. The larger colored pencil rendering of the hand and snake was from a series of illustrations I did for a jesuit magazine earlier in the month.
