See if you can get yourself some glassine - it should be available at your local Dick Blick or Pearl or other art supply-centric store. A piece of this acid-free smoothed silky paper between each drawing (stored flat) will help. Looks like wax paper mixed w/tracing paper but is not the same.

If it's really soft powdery pencils you might not want to stack your drawings at all, and might need a fixative applied before you store it. I don't like fixatives too much -most of em are nasty for you and for the environment - but it's a personal choice. Depends on your paper and your pencils and such. Not sure if that was any help but if you think I can be of any assistance feel free to pm me.

Always thought I would use this old mad magizine "ecccch" cover (it was from a issue that was recalled in the early '70 - due to complaints). Nice Mingo painting maybe Freas.



Felt that it would make a nice poster. Almost as good as using tom of finland like cop shoot cop did. Lots of eye impact and room for band names and location.

Another one, I screenprinted this one too. Just black on grey card.

I've only done two posters/flyers in my life. Here they are:



and



And then sometimes i draw other things, and put them there. I used to do it much more often but now I don't have the time or the energy anymore. :c

And I do some magazine stuff too:



And some sleeves:



They're all done in pen and ink and then the colours are done in a very old copy of Photoshop.

I screenprinted this as well, but it was dark purple on sky blue card. I should take a photo before they're all gone.

I like this one best. Very good use of positive/negative space.
Very good stuff...

I like all your stuff, but that 'death by flying V' is particularly great!

Ta! The 'Death by V' is for the band Clock Cleaner's review/piece in Plan B magazine and the model was none other than EA's own gjhardwick who I forced to perch on a bench for about an hour while I worked out the angle for an imaginary guitar.

That QUI poster is awesome. I Like the paint drips.

Is your stuff on Gigposters?

This is a three-colour screen print I did for a friends zine, Jiffy.



I didn't draw it, another friend Rowan Tedge did.

Screenprinting can be so fun sometimes.
