I really like the dimensionality you achieve in such a painterly way in these, Richard.

A lot of the black and white ideas work really well. I hope they use them and if they don't I hope you recycle them.

Really interesting. Like the textures on these.

i always admire how you can turn software into art. i like word #1 with the pencils, #6 is pretty snazzy too!

Another set of striking images. Congrats Mr. Downs.

Hey Z,L&R, thank you for the comments!. Yes, I recycle elements of my designs and after that, I compost them.
Laura T., software as art(thx) is a fun challenge, I am designing FileMaker Pro 11 and talk about a challenge.
Victor, thanks!, bro.

I always mean to comment more on people's drawger posts. For some reason I end up reading them and not commenting, but for yours I'm always driven to say how cool I think they are.
I think it's the unusual proportions and the way you handle them, or it could be the variety in your sketch ideas, but these Lynda pieces really leave me in awe every time. That Sharepoint especially.
Back during the tech boom I developed a real admiration for folks who could take marginally boring content and make it sing. I don't know the first thing about the application Sharepoint, but I get a lot from that piece. Awesome!
