This illustration was used in newspaper advertisements for Clyde's restaurant. There were approximately six of these borders, with each border featuring a different food theme. The ads ran primarily in black and white, but there were some instances were the ads ran in color.
My scratchboard technique is perfect for the project where an illustration needs to print in black and white for some uses, and in color for other uses. For the black and white use, the scratchboard drawing alone is used. For the color use, the scratchboard drawing is combined with a color underlay. In essence, the client gets two complete illustrations for nearly the same fee as one—I normally add 25 percent to add color to a scratchboard illustration.
