Description

More than a prelim…

During the 90s Rob used pencils on very smaller thin paper format which he would then Xerox to enlarge. From here, either he or Marat Mychaels would ink over the enlarged facsimile. These smaller examples are the original pencils for the published pages.

For more information straight from Rob's mouth about his process during this time check out the following Robservations podcasts at the specified time stamps. These are much more than "prelims".
