Holy God. These just arrived in my mailbox courtesy of the lovely jkluge, who has the originals. They're probably at least 10 years old. I'm LJ-cutting 'cause they're bigses.
Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry as Jeeves. Colored pencil.
I challenge ev'rybody to look -- really look at the colors -- all the gorgeous colors! -- that make up the skin tones in Bertie's face. Astounding! {stumbles, but recovers}
And . . . and . . . the people all look like themselves Exquisite vesri . . . very . . . verisimilitude. Serious 'tude. Even in pen and ink. Pen & ink! I bow in your general direction.
Ann? Ann? Where are you? It's all fuzzy, and not just because I don't have my new glasses yet.
{pops up like Jason or whomever in a Halloween movie}
And the delicacy and inventive use of Ann's pen and ink crosshatching with stippling and other shading techniques -- totally unique and kick-ass. The varying methods always *work* together! How does she *do* that?
