All good looking work.
"@Gray I don't remember that one." Larry, one Christmas a few years ago. Time flies by.

Drawing of an old Short Torpedo bomber which was part of a larger illustration that I later made to look like an old postcard.

I remember that old Short Torpedo bomber. I was mightily impressed by what you did with the postcard mockup then. I still am now.

I followed the eye part of your 2001 "eyebulb" tutorial, but probably about 13 years later (2014)!

I've been a fan of eyeballs since seeing the pinstripper Von Dutch. Part of the hot rod culture I grew up in.
Good looking cats eyes jonopen, and an awesome looking sketch handrawn.

Another old one. The Granville Brothers racer GeeBee, famous in the 30's.

Jonopen - You are most welcome.

A 21st century eyeball on the move. Love it.

A couple more oldies. I was experimenting mixing raster with vector to use the strengths of each graphic type. An old water bomber and a Norseman in RCAF colours. The Norseman is 100% vector with the background a mix of vector and raster. The water bomber is about 98% vector with the background a mix of both.
