Just a quick doodle I did while I should have been doing something more productive, I’m sure. Maybe I just wanted to draw a fez. I can’t recall which came first – the fez or the “Eye in the Pyramid” coin.
Drunk Cartoon Skeleton

Quit Photoshop to save your custom Actions
Arrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!
You just fine tuned a custom action in Photoshop to, say, convert an image to CMYK, resize without resampling to 300 dpi and save as a .psd file, to like, save a bunch of time.

For years I struggled with the idea that the artwork I produced needed to be more than the fun cartoon stuff I love to create, something serious, something ‘heavy’.
Buy One, Get One Freemason
Just a quick doodle I did while I should have been doing something more productive, I’m sure. Maybe I just wanted to draw a fez. I can’t recall which came first – the fez or the “Eye in the Pyramid” coin. Continue reading
