Jim just sent me these photos, the dimension and detail in this patch is outstanding. For those who don't understand why paintbrush is so important to the individual capable of using it, it is clearly illustrated here. It looks like no less than 10 different gray shades giving Mr. Jiggs depth and a 3D appearance.
If the extended palette was available in paint pens, this type of work could be achieved that way as well because of the crisp sharp. lines, no real blending, etc. Unfortunately, the pens are only available in a very limited range of colors restricting the end result. Airbrush is simply irrelevant in this case, it could be done with 10 times the amount of work involving stencil cutting, mixing color, and countless other issues, like starting a forest fire to cook a hot dog.
