"Nae worries, Laddie. I'll keep you safe."

I got so many comment on the previous Star Trek painting concerning the fact that the rat was wearing a red shirt, that I felt compelled to answer. Now I'm no Trekkie, and I only thought of Mr. Scott and his Engineering red. Oh well.

Something New: Bristol Board

This is something new for me: gouache on Bristol Board. This is a medium weight paper, very smooth and very absorbent. The feel is quite different (to me anyway) than the watercolor paper I've been using but I really like it. I was concentrating less on getting the likeness than on getting the feel of the paper.
