Horace Spiegelman - page 5by *socar

Traditional Art / Drawings / Illustration / Storybook

Fifth interior image from "Horace Spiegelman Gets Made Redundant," a collaborative illustration book I did with [link] . This book has full colour front & back covers, and greyscale interiors. It tells the story of Horace Spiegelman, an office drone who wakes up one morning, and finds himself in two places at once. The story is told in double-page spreads, with Agnes's art on the left, and mine on the right; each of us has illustrated the unfortunate fate of one of the Horace Spiegelmans.

On this page, Horace got ill from eating tax forms. I was just doing my taxes, last week; I hated it, too. I lost some receipts when I moved, so I had to go through all my credit card bills, to find my business expenses. In doing so, I discovered that I was still signed up with match.com, which I joined many years ago, and never used.

Copies can be purchased here: [link] - please buy and enjoy!

I will post more pages from this, in the future.

This is lovely lovely work , astounding deatil and the project sounds like a great idea. You cant tell if its fine inks or pencil lines. You still on match then?

Ha, ha, no, I'm not still on Match. I tried eharmony, too, but what a freakshow! I swear, there was a guy on there whose profile said he only wanted to hear from smelly women who don't have good personal hygiene, because he finds that more sensual. Internet dating is the worst!

Oh, and thank you!

It's ink, but I didn't erase the pencil when I was done, so there are probably a couple of pencil lines visible here & there.
