illustration friday: crash

"Crash" for illustration friday. triptych, charcoal on paper.
date begun: 14 February, 2007.

artist comments: it's great to be back, illustration friday. i missed you. :)

a really strange effect happened with these illustrations. i'm at work, so i used the photocopy machine to save tiff graphics on the server. i then downloaded the tiffs to my machine, scaled them down a bit, then saved them as png files. they ended up looking like this: much grainier than the originals. however, i like the effect of stark contrast in these. a little subtlety is lost, but not too much.

i've been experimenting with sequential artwork, and storyboarding. can you decipher the situation? feedback is always appreciated.
