Following suit with what Jerzy did at the convention, I tried my hand at some crayon drawings that didn’t seem to fit the aesthetic of the crowds at the Detroit Urban Craft Fair, so I’m offering these limited pieces for sale here. Makes a wonderful holiday gift.
My Over The Top piece. For all those Sly Stallone fans out there. 5×7″ crayon on bristol. (Shipping included.)

Benefit Pieces
Posted By Mark on November 25, 2009
When approached to contribute some art pieces for a benefit, my first thought was… what do I do? No one really knows my characters, so that’s not really an option (even though I did one of Crablor). So I tried to think of what known properties would I like to draw and which properties I could do justice to with my style.
Speaking of style, these cards are 2.5 x 3.5″ pretty small compared to the size I usually pencil and ink. So this size difference forced me to use different tools to keep the kind of line value I like in my work. I ended up using a 000 Winsor Newton series 7 sable, which compared to the #2 & #3 I usually use, the length of the bristles are much shorter, which made me modify how I used the brush. It actually seemed to work better (working at this small size) to get the same line weights I usually get at a larger size. So this was a situation where limitation of size, helped me discover a new art tool that I can now use in all my work.
