I am not saying this well, but my point is that without the use of color, much shading or gradients, or “much obvious line weight,” the perspective, foreshortening, and overlapping DO “maintain the illusion of depth” and Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043210847573078165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744431297917220971.post-87021289362028518082010-11-14T20:59:06.910-09:002010-11-14T20:59:06.910-09:00There’s actually a classic Freeze Frame strip hung...There’s actually a classic Freeze Frame strip hung on the wall of Ivory Jack’s about just that irony: I’m at the bar ranting about what a nut Kaczynski (almost as hard to spell as Murkowski) was, what crazy views he espoused and what barbaric conditions he lived in, and in the meantime I’m slowly being surrounded by scary-looking locals.

Especially when there are bite-marks and beer or blood-stains (mosquitoes again).
