Black Ink

 I really enjoy drawing in brush and ink. It's fast and expressive with little margin for inattention. I'm inspired by many artists and artworks across time and space and cultures. Frequently, the great comic book artists hover in my subconscious: Will Eisner and Jacques Tardi, and others whose names I can't recall right now. Strangely too, the soft charcoal renderings of George Seurat and the moody charcoal seascapes of Emily Nelligan.
