Add Your CommentsYezow, I’m still tired. Got back from the Drawathon bothered, bewitched, and a bewildered. 12 hours of drawing, nudity, pizza, coffee, and nonstop drumming. Sadly, I lost my glasses in the mad rush and couldn’t draw for squat afterwards. Oh well, I had fun not-breaking-but-entering rooms around Pratt’s bizzare, Victorian/Industrial campus. Afterwards, I had breakfast in a diner and treated myself to an early morning hookah pipe before heading home and going to sleep. Ahh, til next year.
The very interesting and amusing website “Illowatch” comments and reviews the New York Times Op-Ed Illustration. Every day. See, this is the kind of thing the web is for. Also, dirty midget porn.

A little tip when working with color on the computer. RGB color (Red Green Blue) is not the color that the printer uses. Printers use CMYK (Cyan-magenta-yellow). While they are not wildly different, you should check your projects on CYMK to see exactly how they will print out. The results are ususally a little darker and a little duller than you expect. Also, if you’re working for a company that has a signature color (IBM, for example) you’d better make you match up the colors exactly.
