4/29/09 - Testing Strathmore Sequential Art Boards 500 Series

I met Barbara Faro, a Strathmore paper rep, a couple of years ago when she was visiting Lexington on vacation with her husband. She was kind enough to send to me a box of the sample papers from their new line of Sequential Art Bristol Boards and Wet Media Illustration Boards for our local comic creators group.

Here are three samples (5.25"x8.5") on their semi-smooth and plate 500 series boards. All were completed in April 2009. (Tools and material notes on image)
