Awesome rendition. That's almost exactly how I picture him -- a Willy Loman type guy.

Even though my heart breaks for Mr. Jones and his boxes full of office things, this picture makes me smile. It's been a good 25 years Mr. Jones.

thanks. and certainly. it was just drawn on paper with the glory that is a mechanical pencil and then i scanned it into imageready. i turned the opacity down to around half give or take depending on the colour (and with the windows because i wanted a difference with the open one) and that's about all.
it's a real easy way of colouring and i've come to the conclusion that i quite like it

yeah it gives it that weird (good weird) earthy-pastel look... I need to get up-to-date with sharpening up work on the computer to make it look a little more finished and crisp, so that's why I asked. thank you so much! I will definately play around with image ready.

this is great how it is, and it seems so much less complicated, so i'm going to try it anyway.

Saw this on Jenuine's page, great colors and depiction of the character. Folds' songs are great at evoking imagery. Perfect everything, even the ol' wagon looks great.

It's time.
Very nice. That, come to think of it, probably is the type of car that Fred Jones would have.
(ps. I saw Ben Folds in concert a few months ago and
