Unoriginal? Why? Because she choose to illustrate an article about an illustrator by paying homage to one of his best known pieces of work?


Oh the irony. two posters

you would have had no idea who he was unless I wrote it in my post. At least I knew who he was and pointed it out. Which is more important?

Also would the best way to then digitally make my pictures, would it simply be - Scan > Trace in Ai with the pen tool ?

I wouldn't say there is a 'best' way to make illustrations, it depends on what look your after. You could always use illustrator's live trace to convert your line work to vectors.

You could also use my method, which is just to overlay the linework over your colouring using a multiply blend mode. I find that you can keep the rough quality to the lines better that way.

Deary me, that's the sort of thing my 8 year old cousin would say.



And btw - I am well aware who Jim Phillips is. I collect screen prints of various US poster designers (Ames Bros, Justin Hampton, Jermaine Rogers, Brad Klausen, Tara McPherson etc etc) and he features in pretty much every book on the subject. Oh, and if you ever read Thrasher magazine in the 80s you'll know you used to be able to buy decks/stickers/gloves/t-shirts bearing his imagery.

I'm sure you must still be able to buy those stickers - I had a second hand Santa Cruz frame not too long back and the previous owner had put one on it. Was scratched to fuck tho. And I broke the frame
