King of None
imagined by: James Mathias
He’s the king of none, jack of trades and a queen at heart.
Drawn on printer paper freehand using .005, .05, .03, .08 Micron black ink pens, a fat black sharpie, a thin purple sharpie, a thin yellow sharpie and a fat red sharpie. Scanned and resized in Photoshop CS2, while watching the last 20 minutes of Layer Cake
I know it’s not a full-color horror character, but I’m taking a break from those, they were making the daily drawing, which is suppose to be free-form and non-subjective, into a subject based series. I want to do more, but in the future only when the inspiration strikes.
Enjoy this freehand lettering, haven’t done one since High School, felt like doing it. see you tomorrow.

I think its awesome. Not too keen on the purple thatching (top middle crossing lines) but the rest is awesome imo.
Well done, again =).

Belongs on a wall someplace… done in spray paint.
Not crazy about the background including the net at the top, but the lettering is great.
I especially like the pac-man.

Kennedy, I agree with the crosshatch, I regretted it immediately.
Roger, Thanks, Yeah the bg is not as good on paper as it was in my head.
