Less than 24hrs to go to support the Kickstarter for "Photo-illustration". It's my first photo book, with a difference, a fusion of photography and comics art.

This is the 2nd (of 2) drawings I did for @markallardwill.bsky.social's photo/illustration project.
Instead of being paired with one of his photos, the assigment for this one was an x-ray or blowup view of a camera, drawn in my style.
Help get it made!

Marc's work is stunning and it has captivated me since I was first introduced to his sci-fi series, Home, by a Lev Gleason (Canadian publisher, not the artist) rep. His immaculate b/w newsprint style elevates the original photograph to a new level

I was asked to contribute to this interesting project by @markallardwill.bsky.social , pairing his original photographs with cartoonists tasked with recreating them in our style.

Help get it made!

A black and white ink drawing of a sign on a chain-link fence reads "Lot Full" The photo had a nice depth-of-field blurriness that I was just unable to match, so instead I drew every chain-link!

Absolute pleasure to have Marc onboard for this project, I finally found/made an excuse to work with Marc. His artwork is breathtaking and he's a true gent. If you don't check out his sci-fi comic book series, Home, then you're doing yourself a disservice.
