Love it Elwood, though your character resembles me more than it does you. ;)

Elwood H. Smith said...

Thanks, Jeff. No, it's me, but I'm wearing your hair!

Hey, the same thing happens when I hit "E" and "S" on my keyboard. Small world!

Wizzo, Mr. Smith. That made me smile.

Elwood H. Smith said...

Thanks everybody!

The color on this one was not my usual watercolor washes. It was created by Maggie Pickard (my wife, rep, business guru and in-house designer). She scanned my black and white art (inked-in with my trusty Pelikan 120 on 70 lb. Arches Watercolor paper) and somehow got a rich, black line, but mangaged to capture the watercolor paper's texture. She then added those tasty colors in Photoshop.

Now if she can remember what she did on this one.
