This piece is conceptually visually and structurally new to me. I'm emulating a very talented friend who is into large, complex and colorfully painted compositions.
Before starting this piece I used a mouse but bought a pen tablet the next day (my roomate happened to be selling his) which quickly became my best friend. I went through several iterations on this piece, finally settling on this image with a border variant for print. I like the end result and I may turn this into a series, or add onto it later. She's such a great model.

On a side note, I have absolutely no desktop space left. Two CRT's, a Powermate jog dial, big black keyboard, Razer Mouse and now a pen tablet. There's hardly any room for my mountain dew!
