Before:
This was the first proof. Reminded that this was to be an 'adultery' issue, rather than merely a 'sex' issue, Paul was told to add a wedding ring to the guy's finger, and a framed portrait of him with his wife & kids in the background.
Paul drew the framed portrait separtely, then I digitally spliced it in. I also drew the wedding band straight in the computer.
After:
By the hand of the OC Weekly staff, the text was added, as well as some irony: They erased the 'condom' from the bed, yet deemed the 'dildo' (just to the left of the 'framed portrait') acceptable. Or, more likely, unrecognizable. Also, they ended up reducing the visibility of the added 'wedding ring' by placing slightly transparent text over it. Hmm.
Please forgive the poor scan...
Overall, I think it came out really well considering the quick turnaround time, and my technical worries (i.e. Will the final printed artwork appear 'pixelated'?) The artwork itself is very reminiscent of Paul's comic mini series Red Calloway's Big Bang which you should buy if you like this piece.
