Commission: The Adam Dragon
Christian Woodruff
Writer, Illustrator, all-around creative disaster
Shadowcat, Redux
Artwork by Christian Woodruff 2011
Sometimes it’s nice to go back and revisit old(ish) artwork, especially when I’ve been trying to write about the merits of polyphonic tuners or some other headache-inducing product. This pin-up of Shadowcat originally took me an alarming amount of time to finish, so much so that I sent it off even though I hadn’t been completely satisfied with how it turned out. Thankfully, a few hours spent sprucing things up in Photoshop turned out to be well worth the effort.
The Cofer-Price Wedding: the Social Event of the Season, No?
I forgot to sign the artwork -- I'm professional like that.
Suzanne Cofer and I have been friends for the last seven years or so, watching each other grow as artists. She, an expressive and nuanced photographer, and myself, a grumbling writer-type who didn’t forget how to draw. Her fiance, Daniel Price, is a fixture in the Cleveland music scene, playing drums for such bands as the Buried Wires, Megachurch, and Ambulance LTD. Together, they are half the team that runs the Survival Kit art gallery at West 78th Street Studios. I’m thrilled and flattered that she had a place for my artwork in her wedding.
