This is another piece that I did for La Teen magazine, it felt a bit more realistic to me but I think it worked for the article. I need to get hard copies of these. I never think to ask for tear sheets, one more thing to lose in my office I suppose. Although it is good to see how something reproduces in print, and every magazine has it own feel. For Gotham Magazine I have been creating softer watercolor pieces. I did get a bit crazy on my last assignment with Gotham and produced 2 pieces for one assignment, one colored digitally and the other watercolored. I wanted to see what the art director thought. Which, by the way, the art director was AWESOME! I loved her responses, they where so positive, every illustrators dream. Ultimatley, they chose the watercolored piece because I painted the gym bag red and in the digital one it was gray...so that didn't help me make any medium decisions, ha! But working with them is great.
