Cartoon Jumble Remnants

The following gallery features preliminary pencil studies leftover from my earlier paintings in the popular Cartoon Jumbles series, plus an alternate version of Little Audrey meets Spiderman, which utilizes colored pencil as well as watercolor, an approach I abandoned in favor of the more ruminative softness of paint alone. To see the finished form of each pencil study, go to my earlier post, A Scholarly Jumble. These prelims are available for purchase at Shop, J.W.E.. They are also available through Comic Art Collective, along with many other pieces of my work.
