one of the best live trace feature demonstrations i've seen (if that's indeed what you used), toobs. it achieves a unique effect and along with the carefully arranged compositions, these pieces are winners that should be displayed for all to see

i myself am still mastering gradient meshes, which a whole other universe, but so much fun and potential still lies ahead

great work!

That Season 2 one looks great.
I love BB...glad someone is making prints.

Unfortunately all your Reservoir Dogs prints arent up on your big cartel. Any chance of those going up again or getting a Tarantino one?

have you ever experimented w/ gradient meshes in illustrator?

i've done a few low-fi photo-realisitic paintings using a lot of gradient meshes, but i'm not as versed as some folks are, which create illustrations that look nearly as realistic as photos, but they're entirely vector and editable

I don't know how the Breaking Bad print has lasted so long, but I sure am glad it did...a nice little early X-mas present to myself! I can't wait to see what you do with the next one...

I've got wall space reserved for the season 2 print -- looking forward to seeing it in final form. :D

I'm excited for a S3 or S4 print. Those seasons were some of the best stuff on TV EVER.
When stressed about getting a drop, just remember: it will decay into the same organic matter as inevitably as your rotting corpse no matter how much museum glass you put in front of it.
