Brains on the Brain

Here’s a quick sketch I did for a side project I’m working on. I really have a thing for sepia tones, and muted tones in general. Which is surprising for a comic artist since as a kid I was attracted to comics precisely because of all the bright colors. Perhaps it’s a maturity thing, like that one teenage day you woke up and discovered you actually do like the taste of mustard and beer…
*Editors note* This image was recently used as the cover to the Greek translation of Professor Stephen Mithen’s book The Prehistory of the Mind: The Cognitive Origins of Art, Religion and Science. It wasn’t originally drawn for that purpose but when it was requested it seemed to fit the bill, not only of the subject matter but my areas of interest as well.

love your iphone applications! Wrath of the Titans issue 1 and 2 look awesome on the iphone!
also, just picked up the trade paperback of Wrath! this stuff rocks!
The sepia tone looks amazing! What media did you use ontop of the brown paper to acheive this look?
Thank you very much. Actually, much like a centerfold most of what you see is computer generated. This was drawn with black ink on white paper and then dropped into photoshop
