I accidentally trashed this entry so I’ll attempt to reinstall it.
When I originally put this post up the Illinois legislature put a rider into  Senate Bill SB1342 that made it a felony to record on duty officers of the law without their permission. This bill had majority support in both houses from both parties. I still haven’t obtained an understanding of how broadly the term “record” will be interpreted. My personal belief is the recording of police or law officials is not a threat to their effective performance of their duties and actually serves to enhance the public and court’s understanding of conditions on the ground during police actions. This rider serves to restrain the roll of the press, the freedom of speech and the nature of informed consent necessary to have an enlightened citizenry whose job it is to elect officials, judges, representatives.
  
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
Some of the medium used in the above drawings were:
old ledger books and diaries, Utrecht toned sketchbooks, Stillmann & Birn sketchbooks both the Alpha and Epsilon series, Seven Seas Tomoe River Paper, Moleskine watercolor sketchbooks.
a variety of fountain pens, Lamy Studio, Pelikan M215(fine, medium, and broad nibs), several Faber-Castell fps, – Ambition, Ondoro, and Graf von Faber-Castell Classic and Guilloche, Sailor 1911, Sailor brush nib! Namiki’s Vanishing Point and Falcon, and Pelikano Juniors. I fill these pens with Platinum Carbon ink, Noodler’s Ottoman Blue and Electric Eel, and several Iroshizuku inks.
White china Markers aka grease pencils, and Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens
Terrific drawings. Especially like the cop on the stool and the line drawing of Mike D. Vegan. Loose and animated.
So glad your ‘reinstall’ worked – there’s much here to study! I really admire the chubby cop on the bar stool and the scene in the park with the kid perching on his heels.
Your mastery stuns me every time. I wish you had a book published. My copy would be dog eared.
Thank you very much for your comments. Trust me when I say that I’ve been trying to publish for many years to no avail. I’ve had 2 publishing projects and one co-published project go down the tubes. I will be approaching a publisher next week but am not overly optimistic. I haven’t thrown the towel in yet and as of now I’m not really ready to self publish online. So, we’ll see.
You should not give up. It seems that some of the manufacturers of the supplies you use should invest in sponsoring this. Maybe a Kickstarter Campaign? There are so many graphic novels being published of high quality, what about those publishers? An agent should do the leg work for you so that you can be left alone to draw (we need you).
