man, these are just so neat. are you using some kind of wood-stain?

michelle said...

Yes, I do the drawing in ink and then color it with various shades of stain.

Excellent, more work! I'm really diggin' the one that looks a bit like a griffin, I also like the hat and face of the calligrapher though.

There's a certain amount of spacial tension in some of them that I'm drawn to, especially the griffin and the greek strangler, more so than the others which appear more carefully framed.

*wanders off to be mildly productive*

Thanks Chris, I can see what you mean about the framing, I'll keep that in mind.

And "The Greek Strangler" is probably the most awesome thing I've heard today. Hahaha
Sounds like a wrestler, or a villain from a detective radio show in the 30's.
