This is a piece of fan art I did of Tales of a Checkered Man, a webcomic by Denver Brubaker. I met Denver back at the comics fundamentals worskshop I took at my local library this summer. Now there is a comic artists forum that meets every month, and Denver gave an inspiring presentation on his work there. I loved how he was very specific and described exactly what The Checkered Man wore, so it was easy and fun for me to come up with this fan art. I was also impressed by his discipline to stick with a schedule that comes along in doing a webcomic.It has really pushed me along with my sketchbook project. I'm not sure what my future plans are with it, but I'm determined to finish it. And also I've been exploring traditional mediums again! Who would of thought. The smell of art stores are so nostalgic.

Great checkered man illo! I really want to start creating some traditional pieces maybe using watercolor. I really need to practice.
Many thanks for the wonderful birthday wishes! Hugs to you.
Thanks once again for your kind words and your amazing rendering of the Checkered Man! We'll miss you at today's Comics Forum, but hopefully we'll see you at Jerzy's mini-comics workshop in Chelsea this Wednesday!
Cheers!
