Vert Art

In high school AP art, I was supposed to come up with a concentration, but my teacher continued to shoot down my ideas like: Comic Book Superheroes and Cartoons. During a life drawing lesson, I did this horizontal line-only technique. Ms. Miller was very fascinated by the style and asked if I could do a series doing the line art. What came was instant inspiration. I did dozens of pieces in what I came to call Vert-Art. My portfolio cup suddenly floweth over. Since then, I've developed the technique and perfected it. Sadly, photoshop has a filter option that can do just this, and sadly I have been accused of using that. Believe what you will. I'll draw one in front of you if need be. What follows in this post are several pieces that I sold at Chicago Wizard World and raised the mulla I needed to move to California. The ones that were the hot items were the Heroes characters, Tricia Helfer, and Superman.
