Nice image and style. Was this published anywhere, or just for your own hoo-hahs? That nodule in the asteroid is enigmatically kewl!

Just for myself. There isn't much demand or $$$ for my stuff so I only work for myself now.

I know the feeling. Oh, I had demand, but it was rarely backed with good $$$, so in the end it ended up burning me out for a ten year patch.

I considered myself the "Illustrator to the Destitute."

Well... there's "Destitute Illustrator to the Destitute". I guess that's worse.
Fits me pretty well...

Gotta draw with dirt on the sidewalk.(voice from off camera; "you had a sidewalk? We used to _dream_ of drawing on a sidewalk.")

Oh give me a home, where the asteroids roam, and the comets and meteors play.

The dots can be a bit maddening if you don't take your time and rest the eyes.

Oh, yes, I know. *-* I've done stippling before, as well.

WHAT!? Oh... sorry.. I thought you said "stripping."

Nice work! But pointillism is not the correct description of this technique. Pointillism is the use of pure colors dotted in close to each other so that the eye is fooled into thinking that the colors are mixed to yield a blended color. Like lithography dots. When you use dots of only one color, it is called "Stippling."
