Description Something that turned out to be a little more than a simple watercolour piece (I couldn’t stop inking!) for Jim *ShoJoJim who was the winner of the ‘Tasty Cover’ design competition.

Jim asked for something featuring the ‘happy razors’ that appeared in one of the Sweeney Todd conceptual uploads, so I obliged, and left the task of choosing one of his characters up to me. His raccoon character Stevie seemed the obvious choice, so I went for something different; one of his pirate characters, the wonderful Cappin Biscuit! I don’t think he’s very happy to find himself in the midst of all this madness…

Btw, I’m sorry to say that my scanner completely and utterly messed up the colours… again. It’s becoming the norm where the scanning of my traditional pieces are concerned. In reality this is not so starkly yellow!

Sorry! My boyfriend started shaving with one a few years back, and I don't know. They are just damn sexy! Maybe I'm just suffering from a case of association though. XD

Funny thing is, the straight razor provides a much closer, smoother, less bleedy shave than the safety razors! Mrah, if only I could grow a beard so I could use one too.

Seriously, so long as you know how to use one, and if you keep up with the strop, they completely beat out those ridiculous 18 blade things.

Oh dude no. I like my kneecaps where they are.

lennan In reply to Leopreston [2009-01-07 22:40:55 +0000 UTC]

That's exactly how I feel! Like my card picture, a lot of purple mysteriously disappeared. Grrr. But I still have to have it...man, if I didn't know any better I'd say Scanners are drugs.

Leopreston In reply to lennan [2009-01-09 22:30:29 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I'll agree with that! Seriously though, I wish they'd keep us artists in mind when they develop these things! Photos are fine, but... not artwork.

lennan In reply to Leopreston [2009-01-12 21:34:30 +0000 UTC]

I guess they think there are more photographers in the world than artists? Or that people only use the computer nowadays? >_>

Leopreston In reply to lennan [2009-01-15 20:49:15 +0000 UTC]

Ha, probably... I just wish they'd make them more... 'universal' and able to pick up fine detail without going 'oh guh!' and scrambling up the colours. Madness I say! madness! XD

Have you an old one which isn't quite sharp? Perhaps dulled from slitting so many throats?

What's there not to be happy about when you're slitting throats? And the best thing is, no one can blame you for it cause you're a razor!
