You can predict that, everything that is free and more or less flat, is susceptible to be turned into a workable surface for me.
No, no, cardboard is a quite nice material to work with. The texture doesn't bother at all with water techniques, and the only part that required dry technique (Crawford's attire) was really small. It curves a little with the water, but mostly when you're already done. I actually like how it holds the ink, is quite more elegant than, say, photocopies for example. Photocopies are always a bad idea. And it wasn't heat pressed, but it still reflected too much for my taste.
You should try being poor. It makes wonders.
Ha, ha, I thought while I was making them that the crowd was rather shabby, but they were so many that I didn't care! I'm glad the utter freedom I draw them with worked for you!
