Karma Lapel # 5


Here is the cover of Karma Lapel # 5 (winter 1994).

This drawing employs three old tricks I have used for decades:

Crosshatching (a time honored tradition), and then two more I cooked up in the early 1980s and have used since as part of my "look": the double lines and the pointalism rays. I think the most effective use of the latter technique was in the Woofer the Psychic Dog poster.

Heath Row had a nice publication here and he had a knack for writing thoughtful reviews of obscuro comix.
