This is the cd label for this years charity mix album to benefit the Tiger Haven animal sanctuary. Each year
It's painted on an old palette. I keep them if they are interesting or look useful.
The surface isn't porous like paper or wood, it's like painting on a kitchen countertop. Which means that the image is particularly fragile and will just wipe right off.
Those of you keeping score might recognize that I did just that. This used to be the "Zora" image that I made for homework in my experimental class. I wet my hand, wiped the older image into a smudge and reworked it into this one. I'll be spraying it with polyurethane to seal it.

Hi Chris! My name is Erica, and I used to look at your artwork online years ago, when I was just a wee high-schooler with dreams of going to art school. (I've had one of your drawings saved on my hard drive since 2002, no joke.)
Then, as I was strolling back from my Graphic Design IV class at MassArt one day, I passed by a door with a sort of familiar drawing of a tiger-girl on it. "Oh," I thought, "that's kind of like the stuff that guy used to draw. What's his name?"
Then I ran back to the door and recognized your name!
It was so cool! I had no idea you were at MassArt. Just thought I'd say hi because it was such a surreal moment for me. And let me say, really really belatedly, welcome! :D
