Sketch Book Allstars: Sumi-rai Jack

With the help of some friends, I have compiled a roster of talented artists to contribute to a weekly sketch jam by invitation only. Every week or so we will settle on an idea and will each take a stab at illustrating the concept. The level of completion can be anything from a rough sketch to a finished rendering. This blog is intended, for those who are involved, to be an opportunity to challenge one another, to challenge ourselves, and to connect with our contemporaries in the field.

Sumi-rai Jack

Sorry for not posting in so long. It's Firefox's fault. I had to switch back to Safari just to get this up. Anyway a little 'splaining is in order here. I'm researching Japanese Sumi brush techniques and calligraphy for a series of stylized prints that Im doing for the office space I work in. This is a Photoshop comp of what I'd like to do by hand.
