What’s a Mini-Canvas?
I’ve been having a lot of fun with these mini canvases lately. Here’s one I did with my class at Jerry’s Artarama. These things are great.

Experimenting with Adobe Illustrator
So I’ve been experimenting with Adobe Illustrator a little bit lately. I wanted to try and find a way to bring some color to the hand inked look I’ve been having so much fun with lately. A couple of weeks back I rediscovered these really cool brush tip markers while shooting the videos for Jerry’s. [...]
