Back in the day : Before computers and email and everything we hold so dear, there was real art. In those days publishers and art directors would receive one of my postcards in the mail, and then ask for a meeting to view my portfolio of completed artwork.

Truth is you could not crank out as much, but the work created was lasting and physical- you could touch it. This is not a lament, far from it.

Below > digital pen + ink. from a wide- sweeping upcoming project. It began as a simple pencil sketch that has consumed countless hours. Unlike the "for hire tickets", personal projects take a back seat and seem to take forever to complete. This one is all to God who gave me the talent. Amen.

Once computers were able to take the commands I made of them, the body of work changed dramatically.
Edits were easy, and without starting over! Colour changes, resizing and formatting the script was made as simple as eating a bagel. Truth is that I did hold on to the ink well, the nibs, the Pantone art markers and acid-free paper for a long time. But for what I create- commercial illustration... these are great days indeed! - Jeffery Plummer
