From The Vault - Nicole 2002

And no, this is not the "Nicole" from OilCan Drive. Although, I was happy to find someone out there who shares her name and looks just as good.

I did this piece back in 2002 as an experiment and to simply play around.

Using a friend as a subject I drew her on the cardboard backing of a pad of bristol board. I wanted to try drawing on the cardboard so I could use both dark graphite pencils and white pencils to produce both shadows and highlights on a piece of board that wasn't simply white.

Not a bad experiment and, looking back eight years ago, I'm still happy with the result.

I just hope Nicole liked it.

Pretty cool dude, but 2002 is in the vault already? Jeez seems like it was just yesterday.

Well, the way I figure it, the Vault consists of anything you might not have seen before that I did on any day before today.

That at least gives me some leeway to make sure I don't run out of anything to show off too soon.

But yeah, where did 2000-2009 go???

A little gentler style than your usual stuff, probably due to the lack of solid blacks.
