A Bit on Illustration Process
I've been meaning to do this for awhile but haven't had the time. Below you can see some images that go from storyboard to final art. Click on the images, or here, to see the complete series in a larger format. There are also a few comparisons of source character photography and the final illustration.

You're opening your self up for a world of Mash ups ... or was that the intention? ...
Didn't realize you were using mod'd "line film" photos,
cool, - thought they were "pen and ink" drawings.
What do your models think of cyber-celebrity?

Yeah, I don’t use pen-and-ink (at least not for this project). The illustrations are still done by hand though – they aren’t processed using Photoshop or anything. The photography is the source material and then I do the illustrations in Macromedia Flash. I use Flash for a couple reasons, but the main one is that the brush tool has a line quality I can’t find in other digital illustration apps.
As far as cyber-celebrity goes, we’ve actually had a couple cases where childhood friends were reunited through the book. An old friend of mine found me through NYC2123 and recently one of the main characters had an old friend track them down through us after seeing the book. No paparazzi yet though.
This is awesome stuff! I'm viewing it on my new Palm Tungsten TX I just got for Christmas. It lets you order by file name so I don't have any viewing sequencing problems. Wow, I think everything should become portable media!
Love it, has an Alex Maleev feel to it. I was hoping it wasn't photo ref'd but still very good work.
