This is what I feel like when I’m feeling super duper creative.I drew it in pencil on paper, traced and colored in Illustrator, and then added some additional texture and stuff in Photoshop.

The inking has begun! Also, I asked Gab to think of another name for these things. He came up with the genius LetterHeads. Thanks, Gab.
