About my design
by cbuchholz   
This is created in Illustrator using the pen tool and a wacom tablet. The fonts are based on a real font, but they are all hand drawn. Be sure to check out the larger version!



Comments and criticisms welcome!

i can't imagine doing this kind of sketchy style in illustrator. a great departure from your usual style, chris! (though i love both)

Another nice one!! I really like how you rendered the animals. I also think it's great that you allow your style to evolve... it keeps things fresh and exciting!

Also, I can't believe you went sledding. It's so hot here, I'm wearing shorts.

to make illustrator vector art look like a pen and ink drawing takes more talent and skill than i've ever seen. brilliant work chris!

LongLiveQueequeg on Feb 21 '07
hands down one of my favorite designs ever. any chance we could get another color option--perhaps natural (though i know many people hate it)? or pale gray? either way, it's a $5
cbuchholz
   cbuchholz on Feb 22 '07
Thanks LongLive! I wouldn't mind this one on any of the colors you suggested. The only reason I chose this color is because I never used sagestone before, and I did think it looked pretty good on it.
