Okay, so what exactly IS an Across The Page Illo anyway?

Pretty much what it sounds like, actually--a half dozen or more characters (usually members of the same group or otherwise somehow interrelated) drawn across a 11"x14" piece of two ply Bristol, with the artwork--and a pair of characters--running right off of both the left and right sides of the paper. There's always at least one character hovering in the air, throwing down a lightning bolt-like shadow onto the ground, with a curtain of fine-lined cross-hatching as a backdrop. Maybe most importantly, strictly for fun, I use an even more exaggerated version of my (you should pardon the expression) standard style on the characters de jour! It all started back in late 2007 while doing up some art to sell on eBay, and after a while, I grew to really enjoy the format, so I've decided to devote an entire gallery unto itself for these pieces, rather than simply have them only available in various odd corners of my Fred Sez Blog--hope you dig 'em!
