Boarding Pass

I've been experimenting with my artwork lately. I've been experimenting with my style, my methods, and the media on which I choose to draw.

One thing I've been toying with lately is to switch to a fully digital method. While I've owned a wacom tablet for years, I haven't used it to produce any sketches. I tried it a few times when I first tried the tablet,  but the results were just dismal. After that, I relagated it to airbrushing the color layers.

Lately, however, I've been experimenting with it again. At first I didn't think it would work, but the piece to the right proves to me that I haven't enough technical skill to leave my sketchbook behind. This will make it easier for me to update the comic in the future while I'm traveling. It's easier for me to stuff my 4x5 tablet into my laptop case than to bring my pencils, sharpener, sanding pad, smudge sticks, sketchbook, clipboard, and easel through airport security.

In fact, tomorrow I'm catching a flight for work. I had some trouble getting my boarding pass online this morning. An hour went by before I realized that I was at the website for the wrong airline. I always try to check-in online so I can get a window seat. Although I've been on several flights so far, I'm still enchanted by the vista of the earth thousands and thousands below me.

When I finally printed out my boarding pass, I was just as excited as my chibi-likeness.
