This is a portrait I did of my (insanely attractive) New York neighbor. She is…slightly sassier than this image would suggest.

18. Neighbor
4. A Picture Worth 200 Words?
A few weeks ago I curled up in my new leather armchair with a pad of paper, thinking I would work on some illustrations for a project I have on my plate at the moment. Instead, I ended up with this ink sketch. I gave it to May as a present. It is stuck to our wall with Blue-Tack, and I use it to weight my arguments when telling May that he’s pretty. The original is larger, uncropped, and uncolored: I punched in a bit of quick-and-dirty flat color (my old silkscreen style) before posting it here. While admittedly my Photoshop skills are weak, this is a good approximation of our actual skin and hair tones at the moment.
