Art Holes: Rawdog

I’m Lawrence Hubbard aka “Rawdog.” I am co-creator of Real Deal Comix and this is my Art Hole! My digs are quite spartan compared to others, but it works for me! My drawing table, my pens and pencils and always my 19 x 24 bristol board! My studio is also my bedroom, so if I’m working on a big project I can crash for a few hours and then keep on banging out pages. I’m starting to get into digital art, but I still like to kick it old school, pencil and pen on paper!
