My gf is back from Mexico and I showed her the drawings and the test print I made. She really liked the numbers drawings and the owlguins+stars. Also we both really like the way that the prints look. I think you'll be impressed.

Hopefully we can do some more of these in the not too distant future.

Do you think you could draw a one-frame cartoon (more or less) with the stars / owlguins / whoever in it? With no caption, or just a word or two? Maybe think of it as an "assignment," not as advice about your art. I couldn't tell you what sort of subject, but one of the things I really like about your work is that it's playful, funny, ironic, abstract, random, sometimes about wanting, but it's not heavy or dark or down. It's fun to look at, thought provoking.

(My gf, who is a photographer, has got me started saying "your work" instead of "your art.")

You might practice inking. If I had any way of getting to a spare set of Rapidographs/brushes/nibs I'd send them to you but they're in storage a couple of states away. Also you could try ink wash. You can erase the pencil or leave it in.

I used to do a little drawing. I'd still enjoy doing it but haven't in ages. Maybe I'll hit the art store on my birthday.

I'm still impressed how long I can look at "Consumerism" without getting bored. There's so much in it!
