Armed to the teeth (stencil)




Hoping to make this a stencil soon. I vectorized an image of Asia Argento but I traced the paths by hand. No live trace here.

Hope no one is upset by the vector art. Just trying out some new things and trying to get faster with the pen tool. Not technically a sketch . . . but I thought it fit with the theme.

Armed 2 the teeth



The usual: Ball Point Pen, Coffee stain and a slight color adjustment in Photoshop to make the color pop.

Round Fourteen: Armed to the Teeth


Bill Sienkiewicz's Marvel cover for his and Frank Miller's "Elektra Assassin" No. 1 is one of a handful of iconic images I can say made me a cartoonist.

I first encountered it as a kid on a frosty summer morning on Telegraph in the window of Comics and Comix. A friend and I had skipped Strawberry Rec. Camp, and stared at it for hours before the shop opened, with sweaty palms accompanied only by local hobos.

When discussion of Round 14 came about, I couldn't shake the image. Then last night, inspired by the discussion, I came up with my twist.

Enjoy,

Ben C.
