Illustration Throwback Thursday #2
June 12th, 2014 | Posted in Illustration Throwback Thursday
A couple of Sunday Mailbags ago I was asked about my work with The Marlin Company, which is the client I do all those “workplace posters” for I keep posting here. The above image is the very first one I ever did for them, done in traditional media using ink, Dr. Martin dyes and airbrush. I still do not know the exact year I did this, but I am guessing 2001 or 2002.

A few years back you sold this poster to me. Did not know it was the first one you did for The Marlin Company.
This is GREAT TOM! Just love the command of values in this piece. Can I ask you, now that you went digital with color, do you miss this process? So much “flavor” in the shadows & facial expressions. Love to see more of your old colored inks! BTW, Happy Dad’s Day!
