Illustration Friday: Old-Fashioned
Why does this work for Illustration Friday‘s “old-fashioned” topic, you ask? A few reasons.
- It’s not quite my newest work.
- It’s got an old-school feel to ‘er.
- We’re 4 weeks into the college football season, where kids hand out good old-fashioned beatings to other kids.
Seemed like a natural fit to me!

September 25, 2010Thanks Sandy…. It’s actually just a textured layer with a blend mode applied. Glad you made it thru the field hockey season in one piece!
