As is traditional in our household, I draw a card for my son's birthday but always leave it right to the last minute and then panic about it. This year was no exception and what could have been a leisurely Royal Wedding Friday afternoon suddenly turned into 'CARD PANIC!'

Although I could have easily gone with Bakugan I plumped for the (slightly easier to draw) Galactus/Silver Surfer combo. He's been watching the recent(ish) cartoon (where they tried to channel the sprit of King Jack into the artwork) and really enjoyed them.

As my home printer is just a bit dusty and old (and under the desk where I dare not go) I dug around and found a few old Pantone Tria markers that must be at least 8 or 9 years old but, amazingly, still worked. So 1 piece of A4 bleedproof marker pad paper later...

Funny, ages ago, this was how I'd do cards for people but since the computer took over you end up doing everything on it. It's nice to get back to an actual bit of artwork. And Galactus always rocks.
