Description
I was given a new scanner for Christmas, and once it was installed I gave it a trail run. I picked for old colour pieces from 1985 that had never been scanned from the originals before. The old scanner was a Canon Lide 50, and the new scanner is a similar but more modern Lide 100. It seems to do an even better job.

Two of the pieces I picked to scan were from the days when I did pastiches, trades, and collabs with another artist. We've parted ways since then, and the art has been largely under wraps the last 25 years. Until today, the colour work has never been published or posted on-line. This is one of my favourite pieces too -- I love the rich blue sky and sense of distance. I don't have the patience or time to do much work like this anymore. It took a couple of weeks, and most of it never made me a dime. I believe I sold a number of colour prints of this though -- either of the orignal version (seen here) or of an version created later to change the appearance of the commando(e) figure.
