Title: Negotiating the Prairie Iguana
Originally this was meant to be a diptych,like the other I had done. Aside from liking triptych and diptych, there was also a practicality angle (in terms of shipping) bc I have the materials for shipping 5″x7″ prints, but not 8″x10″. But I decided that breaking the images into two halves doesn’t work for the flow of the composition. So I reformatted this as well as “We Shall Pop A Cap” to 8″x10″. I’ll likely have these printed on a glossy stock as it provides scratch protection, which these bigger prints may need. Once they’re under glass, the difference in surface finishing to the 5″x7″ becomes a non issue.

Great art you do, sir
Thanks. You have some very nice art yourself. Looks like you work in various styles, like I do
Thank you. I think the difference between us is that you seem to master them all. I wish I spent more time on real paints though
Thanks. I definitely don’t see myself as a master of any of it… there are some things I do well, but there are plenty of times that I struggle through the creative process…more often than I don’t lol. I’m glad that I had a background in traditional mediums before I moved over to digital, but both traditional and digital overlap with many of the same skill sets, so I think they both can feed one another.
