My Charles Burns ripoff piece...

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I did this a while back for a portfolio I put together, hoping to get a job in Hollywood! No responses, though.

It's a character from the novel Geek Love, which I recommend you read. The original drawing... well it doesn't exist. I freehanded the whole thing in Illustrator, painstakingly to create something cold and formalistic. Like Burns' work, which creeps me out in a good way.

I declare this to be a semi-success.

Yabbadabbadoo!
