Losing the Fight....

I mentioned a foxy boxing illustration sequence I started on last fall, and I kept putting it off and putting it off and putting it off and well, finally my client ran out of patience and fired me, more or less. I finished all the illustrations (24) in black and white, and I did a number of others to "get the feel" of the content. Towards the end I think I was feelin' it OK, but half the illos I did just didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped.

Before the brutal overlords tossed us from the caves to fend for ourselves, our group cranked out 28 pages of almost ad-free dreck. My first project in the naked light and sweet aire of freedom was to draw up a cover for the set. OK, that was done pretty quick---it only took me 8 months to ink and color it.
