Artist's Comments

I spent about a bajillion hours painting this thing but it was worth it.

My final for my History of Illustration class was to create a self-promotional poster/self-portrait incorporating some influences of one of the artists we learned about this semester. I chose J. C. Leyendecker and tried to slightly imitate his vibrant colors, warm/cool double light sources, and realistic yet semi-cartoony illustrative style.

But most importantly, Sambu and I are in space! And I have a ray gun!

Why are we in space? Because space is cool.

Poster version with text is here: [link]
Both version are available to purchase as prints.

ZOMG speaking of Leyendecker, he's my hero and we went to the Museum of American Illustration in Newport, RI and they had Leyendecker originals and one was of a man in a fancy-pants kilt get-up and I thought of you.

Also, my gods, this turned out gorgeously- definitely the most true-to-life you and Sambu you've ever drawn, without being at all stiff. If I could favourite it more than once, I would.
