Deco Party
Something a little different and decidedly non-rocketfictional: an illustration for the Design Exchange, for the invitation to their opening...this was pencil, ink linework, some airbrush, plus whiteout...

What a trip! Its very cool Paul! I enjoy seeing artist break away from what they normally do, well, maybe I mean from what they normally show us... very cool!
Thanks Andrew, Linton, and Richard for the kind comments!
Yes, this one was a little different from what I usually post, but for years I've done a lot of different mainstream illustration--although a lot less lately--including advertising work, often in different styles to suit different jobs. On this one the client's request was to base the look on the deco style of a Canadian illustrator called Charles Comfort, whose deco look has influenced a lot of people. I took that as a starting point and made up the composition based on inspiration from his approach. It was quite challenging: when you try a different style you run up against all your ingrained habits and formularized ways of doing things.
Challenging and quite successful, Paul. It's a beauty. I can hear the glasses clinking and the murmur of partyers...
And it's traditional medium, which in some way is all the more impressive. Do you have it hanging on your wall now?

Thanks Arna! I did that a few years ago---one of the last airbrush pieces I did--only using the airbrush to apply mostly-flat tones...now I would end up doing it on the computer....gave up completely on the airbrush, and won't return...
It was on the wall for a while---but now it's skulked off to a drawer somewhere...got tired of looking at it...
I loved this pic..thanks!
