Juxtapoz Ad for Canson USA

one of two illustrations commissioned by Canson USA for an advert about their new line of marker paper.  it was featured in the Oct 2010 issue of Juxtapoz magazine, out in newstands and bookstores right now!
since the ad used the b&w lines, i guess i'll post the marker + texture version~

light me up

conceptual sketch for a full-page ad for Canson USA, maker of high-quality fine art papers.  i ended up going in a different direction for the final illustration (which i'll post later), but i wanted to share this anyway~
incidentally, it does fit quite well with the Illustration Friday weekly topic of "old-fashioned."  how convenient! :)
