Computer Mouse Illustration

This mouse cartoon was drawn many years ago using Corel Xara which was a personal favorite tool at the time.  In this period, my common practice was to hand-draw cartoons on bristol and scan them into PC using an HP scanner that supported vector line art as a scan format.  Then I would manipulate the art in Xara, which was a vector tool.  These days, since computer hardware manufacturers can't be expected to continue releasing drivers for old hardware on new operating systems, I have since decided to do artwork digitally.  Unfortunately this has not proven to liberate my process from electronics manufacturers, but alas, such is life in the 21st century.
