Artist's Comments

This is the first of the seasons. She looks a little fed up, doesn't she. Good! She is! It's hot and sweaty. There are bugs and bees everywhere. All she wants is to try and cool off with some ice cream infront of the fan. And this is what she gets.

I wanted to try and not use any outlines where ever I could. I wanted to just rely on the shapes themselves and some gradients to give the image shape and depth.

I'm tired of smiles and pouty lips, so if these seasons look grumpy that's on purpose.

I love her skin shading. Your style is wonderful!

Wow, this is so different from what I'm used to seeing from you. What a wonderful new approach, both in the lack of lines, and in her expression. The gradients are fabulous. I'm so glad you decided to do the seasons, I'm having fun already!

Say, did I ever send you the photo of my framed pinups?

Nice.

I still say a lot of your work has a "cartoonish" quality to it--ever think of trying a strip-like thing?

I had to stop myself from laughing too loudly at work... very cool!

That's nice! Even though it's cartoony it's more of a caricature of the "realistic" (the terrible heat, the bugs, etc.) Very neat :)
