Pencil sketch and digital marker color of Salieri, from the movie Amadeus. Not only is it one of The Great Movies, the director's cut DVD comes in handy when I need to run my MacBook battery all the way down when I condition it every few months. :)
Every artist can relate to Salieri, I'm sure, although Mozart's struggles with the "suits" in the Emperor Joseph's court to get them to buy into his vision are also universal.
The first Suburban Tribe trade paperback will be called Too Many Notes and will feature all the strips printed in Suburban Tribe #1 - #3, as well as a fair amount of sketches and commentary. The cover will likely show Alan as Mozart, Carol as Katerina, Tiffany as Rosenberg, etc. That means lots of practice for me drawing 18th century Vienna fashions before it hits the shelves late this year. Watch this space!

Great likeness!
When you say "digital markers", is that a tool in PhotoShop, or some third-party application? (I use The GIMP myself, since I'm both a cheapskate and a non-pirate, so I'm not really up on what's available in PhotoShop nowadays.)
For markers, I used the Marker tool in Corel Painter IX. You can download a demo from Corel's site, and there is also an alternative natural media program called Project Dogwaffle that many pros use and is quite cheap.
Thanks!
