Hecho en Seattle

By Mark Kaufman
Another installment of “Hey I found this in my basement”. I was rooting around down in the basement last night and came across this piece that I did probably a decade ago for late lamented Seattle music newspaper The Rocket. It was for a piece about some Cuban musician, I must say I don’t remember the gentleman’s name. But what I find interesting whenever I am going through old files, whether that’s in the basement, in my flat files, or on my computer, I can find something of value. Whether the work is crap, or I am proud of it. This piece falls somewhere in the middle, but I can see the development of the line that I use in this illustration. It is not fully formed as the line I use today, but this seems to be the genesis of that line. It’s nice to look back, but nicer yet to keep moving forward.
