Description The Lady of Shalott was my favorite poem when I was ten. I tried to draw a picture of her then--I wasn't very good at it, but it sparked my interest in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jewell'd shone the saddle-leather,
The helmet and the helmet-feather
Burned like one burning flame together,
As he rode down to Camelot.

Anyway, I'm almost done with his series. One more picture!

It's official. I have fallen for your style - and this artwork too, of course!

If it's okay to ask, how do you make these comic-book style pieces? Is everything done in pen, or is there paint involved, or...oh, I don't know. I'm intrigued by everything, from the colors to the different line widths, is all.

Oh! Sorry, missed this comment somehow. Everything's done in brush pen--Pentel Pocket Brush Pen to be exact--and then scanned in and colored in Photoshop.

Some of your art reminds me of Lichtenstein. A wonderful artist and fun to look at, just like yours. You also have an art neuvo style; what a great mixture of arts. I enjoy your pieces very much.

I really really REALLY like your comic book-y style.

I will forever be jealous of your artistic talent.

Her hand looks a bit strange to me.. (but I'm not really one to talk since I never draw hands, or humans, that is)

But on the whole, this picture looks awesome. The background is great.

Never heard of The Lady of Shalott though... >_<

No, it is a bit strange! But after I ink it's pretty hard to fix mistakes without redrawing, sigh.

Nice strong composition. You do an awesome comic book style.

This story is so sad I went thru a Pre-Raph phase. tried to grow my hair like a dusky maiden but it didn't work!
