Nick Of Time

I did this painting in the Nick of Time. So it’s got sort of two meanings for me. I was getting disinterested in art in general, I sort of came to a wall. Like all good creatives I kept trying to get over the wall using my sketchbook, painting in different mediums, and modeling in 3D. Then Adobe finally put transparency in Illustrator and I was looking at the lasso masking techniques used in photoshop by the Computer Graphic geniuses.

I realized I could do the same thing as them in Illustrator. So I tried it on an old sketch. 6 Hours later this is what I had.
