Thanks to TonyT's suggestion on the last piece "This same piece with just the X red would look awesome too. Keeps it black and white but really emphasizes the Opus also"

I took it a step further and added a few more smokes.

It's also 16 x 20 pen & ink on watercolor, but has a washed acrylic for the red portions.

E-mail me any trade thoughts!

Very nice. the red really kicked it up a notch.

I liked it better all black and white.

Awesome

I LOVE it! The red really gives it a PUNCH...

Very nice work. Love the red X on the black and white

Very nice as always.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I had a red X in mind when TonyT suggested it and when more than one person have an idea, it must be a good one!

I thought 3 would make it pop a little more though. Triple X style!

Of course, THANKS to the Skipper for the models for this one.

And to think, I had a good idea for once lol

I like this. Everytime I look at this I think it is huge, like 2X3 or something.

Muhren,

Got the print today. Awesome man. This one looks great too. I really like the black and white with one part color. It really makes things stand out. Thanks for the print.

very nice. as an art critic (in my own mid), i just don't get the stark difference between the wrapper above the band vs the section below. perhaps the artist could render a more realistic portrayal of the wrapper? just a thought.....

Maybe I don't understand your question but the lower part (under the band) is a cedar wrap, right?

^ Smae thought here

or same...fat frickin fingers.

Cedar wrap on the lower portion of the cigar. Look for the other one I worked on at the same time as this one. Cedar wrap and red ribbon on end.

I think it looks sharp too.

very nice job!

gotcha. i was blinded, but now i have seen the light

pending trade
