Metal City Redux
I always thought I was just sort of shit. You know how it is. Not as good as the others. I always looked at my cartoons, and thought... if only the lines were crisper. If only the colours were sharper. If only there was more definition. More clarity. More beauty.
Then, finally, someone told me: "David! What's your damage? Haven't you ever heard of Illustrator, you silly bastard?"
And so, as though unlocking heretofore unheard of vistas of wonderful, life-affirming art, here is the best of Metal City 2004-2006. A few art pieces which I can now, legitimately, say are finished.
And I can rest, knowing that I'm not the talentless whore I suspected myself of being. The only difference between an amateur and a professional is technology. And, as Bowie once said, 'the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar'.
You're the blessed - and this is Metal City.
(Note: Comments have been switched off. I have no idea how to install blacklist software. If I turn comments on, I get flooded - as in, hundreds of emails a day, with spam. If anyone knows how to install a working blacklist, send me an email. I'll literally cry tears of joy.)
For the faithful who have stuck around, get ready. I'm going to rebuild Metal City very soon. Your patience will be rewarded with another few years of substandard nonsense.
Oh, and thanks to Dust and TheEye - I think you know what for.
