Sweaty Eddie

I’ve been doing variations on this same panicked/agitated/junkie-in-need-of-a-fix guy for years. I did a version of him as a first assignment in a Sophomore illustration class.  I did a digital version on a Commodore 64 using a Wacom-like tablet called the Animation Station back in the early ’80s which I printed out on a Panasonic Dot Matrix printer and sent it in to the Uncle Floyd Show. This version appeared last year on postcards for a propane company.

This version was done in Faber-Castell brush marker in a sketchbook; scanned into Photoshop: placed and colored in InDesign and printed in Black and a Pantone 109 on a Heidelburg Press.
