Artist's Comments

I LOVED doing this project. You have no idea. Scratchboard is so fun - if you get a chance, you have to try it.
Art class, photo reference, photo by Mr. Curless, blah blah blah.

That...is awesome!!! The texture is perfect, and it looks as if it would just jump right out at you! Perfect job! I especiallu like how detailed the eyes are- you can see the different individual shades that make up the eye. Fantastic!

"You found the notice, didn't you?"
"Yes. It was on display at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on a door saying 'Beware of the leopard'. Ever thought of going into advertising?"

Wow, Joy, just... Wow. I don't know how you did that, but it's wonderful! What is scratchboard? I must give it a try...

It's a white piece of posterboard-like paper (much smaller though- smaller than a piece of notebook paper), covered in black paint or something. You scratch it off with an x-acto knife and it reveals the white underneath.
Remember in Kindergarten when you'd make rainbows on a paper and then colour over it with black crayon, and scratch off stuff with a paperclip so the lines would be rainbow-coloured? It's kinda like that.
If you went through elementary school not doing that, man did you miss out.

Yes, I do remember that. Quite fondly, actually.
