Description
My buddy ~DocShaner chose Popeye for this past week's Comic Twart [link] and i thought it would be fun to try him out in my new style. I grew up on Popeye cartoons (especially Popeye the Sailor meets Sinbad the Sailor) so i had a lot of fun with this.Thanks for the encouragement Evan...AHEM!
Oh and my Popeye eats cans of seaweed, not spinach.

Your style is amazing. I'm in love with your work!! I wonder if there is a chance I could use your art as cover to some notebooks i'm hand-making (it's not a company, just love books). Greets from Argentina! Laura.

hey. this is brilliantly calm. I have been doing illustrations. I end up with one problem. When its time to add texture to it. I fail bad.
Any tips for me? Or can u show me some way to add this nice papery feel to illustrations? thanks

The trick to textures is using blending modes on the layers. Multiple layers of the same texture at different blending modes and opacity settings help a lot. Hope this helps!

thanks. 
i see the texture you used is brilliant! Any way to reproduce that?
Do you use a self made texture or did u download it from somewhere?

I scan in old or wrinkled paper of all sorts! Anything can be used as a texture.

You know, I think you've found your calling with these images. You've nearly perfected this style, and I can imagine a book full of these images very easily. I would buy it!! Keep up the good work, you're quickly becoming my favorite deviant to follow.
