Byword and the St. Ignace lighthouse.

The band Byword, based in Northern Idaho, stumbled upon my sketch of the St. Ignace lighthouse, which I drew while on vacation last year.
Gotta love Google image search, sometimes.
The sketch is actually quite small; I made it using a simple black ink pen in a fairly small journal that I'd purchased at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, propped up on the railing that led to the lighthouse.
It's what I'd call a gesture drawing, the loose kind where the pen doesn't leave the surface of the page much and I tend to worry less about accurate perspective or details and, instead, go for the main message.
The devil is in the details, you know, and I don't want to deal with that.
Anyway, if you happen to see someone walking around with a shirt on that features this image...now you know.
And one more thing.
Definitely check out Byword's web site and their music. They're on CD Baby, too.
It's good stuff.
UPDATE: Check out the T-shirt! I was told by a band member that it was a top-seller. Very cool!
