ISABOA

About my design

by ISABOA   
I like to draw



- sometimes I like to draw a specific idea or story - and sometimes I take a back seat and the drawing tells me a story as I go



pencilled and inked on bristol board - #2 ticonderoga blacks, copic pens and a white eraser



optional one color belt print or 8 color to the bottom edge print



go CLICK ME NOW for pictures of the drawing from pencils to finished - and other colors/models etc



thanks for taking a look

wow i love the drawling,

what makes it even better is that its a scene or story,

not a drawing of something clever or witty.

lots of constuctive thought was placed in it.

I think that you're one of the most amazing artists on threadless. I thought it couldn't get better than sinister dexter, but this proved me wrong.



Either print or T would make me very happy.



5$ for crown-clad violin playing crab.

The drawing reminds me of the awesome artwork done for the opening credits for Castles in the Sky, which I watched last night, just the way it's rendered, full of soul and authenticity.

This is one of the most stunning pieces I've seen on Threadless, and I'm shocked it didn't score higher. That being said, they would be total cheese wieners not to print it. A definite purchase for me if they do!
