Some rough sketches I did a while back, that will turn into something. Not much to look at yet, but These Will Be Important - Mark My Words!

Moonscape
Final layout for the "Lost In Space" sequence, the style of which surprised me rather.
It's a key part of the eventual design that his eyes are obscured by the lettering, so take a look while you can!

Guest Post
Drawing of me made by my 5-year old daughter on a scrap of paper, while I was explaining head proportions to her. Girl's got talent.

Celestial Bureaucracy
Works in progress fora short 4-page piece to be submitted to the Titan competition at the Lakes Comic Art Festival. I started off picturing everything as looking like Paul Klee, but it took on a shape of it's own, as usual.

Prehistoric Battle of the Pens
The house is full of dinosaurs when my 5-year old comes to visit, and the BBC "Walking with Dinosaurs" book is always open. A couple of sketches here taken from photos of the real live dinosaurs inside.
Peteinosaur was a small, early Pterosaur, about the size of a blackbird, I think. The fellow underneath is the boringly-obvious Bad Boy of the dinosaur world, T Rex.
Peteinosaur was drawn mostly with Pitt Pens, and a lot of fussy detail, the T Rex with a Pentel Pocket Brush, in broad, amorphous shadows and fluid lines. Nice contrast between the effects achievable with the two types of pen.
