"On the Antartic in a house filled with antiques, the anthapomorphic anteater seems antsy as he antes, playing poker with his amigo the ant as they await the anticipated return of their buddy the antbear. The antigravity device is on the fritz again and Antares shines bright in the night sky."

So I'm putting the final touches on this design and I have a few routes I could continue down. I could go with the original which uses a universal stroke size or there's a charm to the design when the outlines are removed. I could also go in to the non-outlined piece and add more sparse and subtle outlines. The third option would be is to use the outline on the characters but remove the outline on the background. Also would more textures add to the work or make it look too busy? Threw a color option up as well. Thanks in advance for the feedback....

All about me

Freehand Profit is a Los Angeles based artist who earned his name as a graffiti artist in DC and Northern Virginia. In 2005 he graduated Corcoran College of Art & Design with a BA in Fine Arts. Since then he's rooted himself in LA's Hip-Hop scene and has been working to forget what he learned in art school and make work without the pretentiousness that all too often accompanies "good" art.
