When I saw the cover for the new Death Cab for Cutie album, I thought to myself, “hey, I’ve seen this before.” Creativity? What’s that?

Just finished a new little bit of really colorful artwork… from my flickr photostream…
I sat idly for a couple hours, and came up with this in the meantime. Since I wanted something colorful, naturally, my first stop was COLOURlovers, where I used their palette design app to come up with the five-color palette used here.
I’ve been drawing in black and white for ages; it’s been a long time since I put some color in my work. I think it’s a welcome addition. God, I love color. How could I have stayed away for so long?
