In Praise of Pickling

There's a new Honestly Dara column up in Experience Life! magazine.  This one is in praise of something.  I forget what.

Arnaud Faugas

This weekend I visited the Stanford in Washington Art Gallery (it was next to a Lebanese place my girlfriend wanted to try that ended up being delicious) and got to see a bunch of work by French illustrator Arnaud Faugas. 

He has an incredibly loose, whimsical line that just adds life to his subject matter, whether it's a pictorial history of Washington DC or a wine advert. Would that I could have enough confidence in my line (or enough funds to afford endless paper to practice on) to draw like this all the time.

Concept art for a comic I'm going to attempt to work on. It's about government.
