Kali, I know that you took a class from Ellis in college, but what is your relationship with John Kricfalusi? Is he a former teacher, friend, your uncle? Or just an artist you admire a lot?
I dig the linework. I think I've got an install of illustrator around here somewhere. Is it as simple as making a line with a pen? Or do you have to monkey with the handles to get what you want?
The George is looking nice. Is it maybe just a little stiffer than your hand-drawn stuff, though? I ask only because your hand-drawn work is so very fine.
I can never decide if it's worth investing the time necessary to develop a computer technique that convincingly apes the warmth of the hand-made--or if that time is better spent on improving my actual draftmanship and just getting a good scanner.
As it is, I do a little of both. And both need heaps more improvement.

A quandary indeed!
