I had a go at working up the Mekon's head from memory. Essentially a green, severe man with a giant cerebrum. He was an evil genius alien from the 1950s Dan Dare magazines for those Millennials out there. I think his head was even more out of proportion than I have it. I also stuck in a texture scanned from the endpapers of a Victorian book, for good measure. Anyway, it's good practice...
 
 

Fantastic artwork.

Hi Kevin,
 
A smoothing tool is something that has been previously been requested and may be a feature included in a future update. Have you tried selecting to shape and then switching to the Node tool and try reducing the amount of nodes to see if this makes the the line smoother.

A 'vintage' poster made from a public domain image and a some textures scanned from old book endpapers and a back cover. The quote is a genuine reply to a question on the Guardian website some years ago. In amongst all the sensible replies, one Stuart from Bristol posted it. So, all credit to Stuart of Bristol who seems to be untraceable. Maybe he'll see this and make contact for I think he wins the Internet.

Cool. Most people don't know that the 18  +1/2 amendment to the US Constitution stipulated that the right to caffeine shall not be abridged. Its good to know that the future will facilitate this basic right.

Wonderful!

Very cool. 

Brilliant acrylic painting!

I re-worked this idea in AD after first doing much the same thing directly from a photo in AP. I prefer the new version; it's more graphic. I learned lots of new techniques, for example, the use of the pencil tool which was so useful for that vegetation.

Fine work. The "vintage" poster style remains wonderful.
 
As a BTW, you might like looking at color woodcuts by a fellow named Gustave Baumann, who was active up until 1971. A master of line and shape w. a generally limited palette.
