I came across your blog thanks to the power of reblogging! My question for you may have already been asked, but what is your process for creating an illustration? How long does it normally take you to complete a project? Anyways.. Lovin' your artwork, you just gained yourself another follower. <3

Thanks for the kind words! My process is pretty simple… I scribble and doodle until I figure out what I want to draw and then I sit down and draw it, usually with ink and watercolors. How long it takes to complete a project really depends on the project. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes it takes half an hour.

ORIGINAL ART SALE!

Hello friends!

The last couple months have left me with lots of unexpected expenses and not a ton of income. I do have some paychecks in sight somewhere on the horizon but they are…. well, still on the horizon. November is speeding towards us and that means I’ll soon have to fork over what little money I have left for rent/student loans/internet bill… you get the idea. I need to raise some money real fast if I want to continue living in an apartment and eating food. That means I’m putting a bunch of original art up for sale!

The four paintings I just posted are all for sale along with some other stuff. Check it all out on my blog. And please, spread the worddddd!

Hello!

I somehow gained over 1,300 new followers since the last time I checked. Who the heck are you!? Tell me about yourself! (preferably in the form of a “reply”)

Antarctica Inside: There's nothing good out now? Bullshit. → danielkharlow.tumblr.com

danielkharlow:

So, to prove that independent comics are still climbing up towards an all time high- and to prove my friend wrong- I wrote out a list of the five best new artists in independent comics right now.

  1. Phil McAndrew | This is kind of cheating because Phil is a friend (for fuck’s sake, his band played in my basement), but he is the real deal. You’ve probably seen his ridiculous/gnarly/ridiculous again Are You Man Enough? mustache comic all over the internet. That would be noteworthy, but it’s the more intimate stories like Book Comic or The Secret Thoughts of Harold Lawrence Windcrampe that showcase McAndrew’s solid grasp on simple, goofy, character-driven humor. Phil is just that good, and I’m proud to say I’ve eaten some pancakes with him.

DAN I AM TURNING ALL RED AND STUFF AHHHH
