[The Mysterious Mr. Kirby]This rendition of "Peter Pan & The Clan" was comissioned after a friend of mine saw my version of "Alice's Wonderful Land."
I love doing these fully-marker-rendered illustrations because they take me back to the days when I was younger and only had my Berol markers to get jiggy with. This image is pure markers (all me), but there is another version with the saucey special effects I couldn't do without the computer.
Nowadays, computers allow me to take my images into a whole 'nother dimension. Filters, gradients, glows and textures I couldn't acheieve before are now mine to party with.
I will always love and use my markers (like getting my hands dirty), but I do embrace the computer options (like using digging tools for my art garden.)
Remember you are the product and complete the thought whenever possible.
Holla back.

And the mind's a terrible thing to waste, so use it till there's none left.
JJ,
it would be awesome if you could do a tutorial or a walk through of the process you use to do a marker rendering. Nice job

Mr. Kirby,
I second the notion of a tutorial on how you get the fantastic marker rendering effects.
