I . . . think I'm allowed to release this little fellow out into the wilds of the internet at last. Go, my pretty—run free! It will be an ad in the forthcoming SXSW program, so you can catch it in print as well.



The past few weeks I've been working on its larger poster-sized counterpart (hence all the mentions of alphabet drawing). It's filled with even more awesome things (and their sponsors), and will be color (which is just plain exciting). I'm 90% finished inking that one, mostly tackling the last few pieces of lettering. Let me tell you, the very last thing you want to hear while working on something so complex:

"Hey! One of the spellings I gave you is wrong! It should be spelled [ . . . ].

. . . which I did get to hear today. Knowing how my life goes, I was almost expecting it, the closer the drawing was getting to completetion. But that kind of adrenaline-boosting exhilaration is something I can forgo. Really.
(It was, thankfully, the final bit of lettering I hadn't started on.)

In other news, the era of personal airships is nigh! Nigh, I say!
I particularly love the scale of the thing to humans, hovering just so above the ground. If only it weren't black and yellow. ::shudder::
