As many, I thought his artwork was vector-based. This is simply amazing, and it goes to show that a talented artist can create great work, and be productive, no matter how outdated his tools might look. Why need a bloated new version if you can work so confidently with your trusted software? As they say, there are many ways to skin a cat. As many, I thought his artwork was vector-based.

The video is jaw-droppingly awesome. I can't imagine when I'd get to the point where I trust my first instincts enough to work entirely in one layer.

I love this blog and how it introduces me to such amazing artists. However, your title says Bab Staake in real time, but in fact, the video is time lapsed. He'd have to be amazing and have super speed to pull of that illo in that short a time. That’s a great video. I love this blog and how it introduces me to such amazing artists.

His older stuff was way more editorial cartoon style. I like how he creates his shapes out of overlapping oval marquees and the paint bucket. Working like this, there's no need to upgrade Photoshop! I wonder how old his Mac is?

Makes me feel better about sticking with Painter 4. Now if I could just pull the illustrations out of thin air like that.... Wow. Makes me feel better about sticking with Painter 4.
Now if I could just pull the illustrations out of thin air like that….

What's amazing with these videos is watching him pull these illustrations out of thin air, like they were already there waiting for him. It reminds me of the old fable about the sculptor who carves a horse out of marble simply by cutting away all the parts that don't look like a horse. Amazing.

Just goes to show it's not the tool that makes the artist great. Young artists scrambling for the new Cintiq should watch this. That makes me hate my life.
