Well, I had a little bit of downtime, and something that has bothered me for a while was George's face on my stamp. Dead eyes and a soulless smirking face. Really more of a smudge than any semblance of a portrait.

I thought I would do the old surveyor some justice and update his looks a little bit. Matching the lithograph style of the dollar bill, and my wall certificate, I drew him up like new.

Pretty pleased with the outcome. New is on the left, Old is on the right

That looks real good. I haven't made a digital for Washington yet. I usually sketch mine in ACAD at 20 or so times life size then scale it down. After having my seal jacked I'm considering getting rid of the digital...
