You sneaky snook!

Charlie Eve Ryan

That is fantastic! I feel the varied weight in your inky lines plus the font coupled with a clever concept should have given you away to the boys! I can't not see your style, lol! AB rocks!

BichonBistro

@Lee-White and I thought somebody was cribbing your font! it’s one of my favorites for the unique take and vintage feel in the execution (except for the Woof font )

sneaky...sneaky! LOL, great image, and I'm glad you had a chance for a bit of fun!

Nyrryl Cadiz

@Lee-White HAHA! I honestly found this concept unique. Nice one. Lol

SFischer

Damn the signs are all there!! I knew this was illustrated by a professional right away. Great work AB!

K.Flagg

Omg that is the best!

Concept is king eh? Sneaky, very sneaky.

That image made stop scrolling on the contest thread for a bit. I think I wrote a message to AB that I really loved the concept. But I did not suspect it was you at all. I also thought Lee would like this piece.

I just thought, "Someone has a well-developed style and a really original concept!" It made me pause. But admittedly, since I didn't enter, I was scrolling rather fast just to keep current with what was going on, and so I didn't consciously think, "It's Lee's style!" Thanks for putting it in there and shaking us up!

@Lee-White you sneak.

I didn't recognize it as yours, partly because I don't expect people to be so sneaky lol, but it was outstanding for sure.

Fun times!

@Lee-White I had caught that it was you. I actually catch it because you posted as AB I read the posts, then you deleted them and I knew it was you.

I was wondering if you would make the top 16 (after seeing it I didn't really have a doubt.) I love the printmaking feel you got with the piece.

I eventually have to figure out how to get that feeling digitally. But I am still working on getting the feeling I want traditionally... then I will hopefully be able to transfer it to digital. Your video on textures I think will be a good first step for me.

I wasn't able to get my entry in traditionally and it just isn't as effective digitally.

Let me know what you think about the difference between the two...

@theprairiefox I was wondering if anyone caught that slip! I had posted a comment as AB, but I was logged in on my Lee account! I caught it quick, but not quick enough! haha!

When I first saw this, I thought, "I love the concept but why is he trying to be a Lee White clone?!" LOL! I'm glad it was you. Bravo!
