Old School

A recent offer to illustrate a magazine article for a friend's submission allowed me to expand on my favourite black-and-white lineless Sin-City-ish style. The illustrations of nostalgic objects from architecture college life were too low-detail for only black and white, and I naturally rebelled against adding lines to increase the complexity. Rather than add another solid colour, I decided to add a pattern, preferably one with a relation to the object being illustrated. In keeping with the nostalgic feel, I also deliberately misaligned the fills by a small amount like the human error in old prints (telling you that was the main reason for this post).



Each image had a 'state change', sort of like a before/after image which would alternate with a mouseclick in the digital version. The other images are in this folder, along with other graphic artwork.
