Another poster for Blue Flavor, this time for Skydeck, which protect your info from prying hands and corporate mailing lists. I really like the many-handed monster, especially that rich red: it’s a very Gary Baseman color, and I won’t say I mind being associated with him. The robot is not as dynamic as I would have hoped, but I’m trying to think less about what I draw these days, and just DRAW it. Early in my career, I was bothered that I didn’t have as distinctive a style as I would have hoped for. Now, as I get older, I see that style – and being known for that style – often comes from just letting your brain go a little bit. As a bit of a neurotic, I find this difficult sometimes, being full of self-doubt about my instincts. But I’m getting better about letting go. If this means that right now I draw a lot of craw-grappling robots, well, so be it. I may have done it before, but at least it comes from my subconscious.
