confession: the superpower theme in Demo was pure marketing. i never once set out to write that sort of series. some had them and some didnt. i always approached it from the angle of the 'fantastical' rather than the 'superhero'. but thats what the comics kids want, so we helped them see it.

checking out your work now. i like the ink drawings, especially the Dog Eat Dog. what do you paint in?

It really pops out at you! It has such a strong, bold look, my eyes are constantly drawn to the picture. The couple really jumps out at you. I almost want to tell them to get a room.

I'm amazed that you're using acrylic on such a large scale, do you use slow dry medium? A liquitex representative came to my school to do demos on their products, and all the odd things you never thought you could do with acrylic. They have some product that you can do transfers of printed material with. It's clear and you paint a layer onto a newspaper or what not and then peel it off and stick it onto your painting! She also had taken some thickly layered gesso, and sanded it down with fine sandpaper, painted it with paint mixed with high gloss medium and it was so smooth and shiny it looked just like a decorative tile! They also had extremely high viscosity paint that was so thick she had to spread it on like frosting, you could practically mold it. Neat stuff, thought you'd enjoy. Um...if not, I apologize for the lengthy ramblings of my art nerdiness.
