Gone Quackers

I have finally started some basic sketching/character studies for Nearflight a wordless comic novella betwixt myself and Mr. Jskar.  It is going to be a very structured affair.  I've been at turns nervous, anxious to get this thing rolling.  Mostly, I've been neglectful.  In the oncoming months I'll be posting my progress here while alternating between this story, colouring Mother Lover, illustrating Consummation, and other odds and ends (like colouring the cover of The Death of Elijah Lovejoy, sketch doodles for fun, and paid illios).  Feel free to to add your 2 cents to my progress if your in a giving mood. 

Paris Doodles, Doodz

The plane ride, the plain old long, 7 hours, maybe 9, was over long--expired milk--so tired.  We arrived very early, night happened very late and in between I did not sleep a drop, but instead went with my wife, my mother-in-law, and a friend to cafe for a drink.  On my 24 hours of wakefulness I did draw doodles of my companions and a stranger.  The ones of my wife are too strange and bad that I did not include them.

It's a little sad, I had hoped to get a bucket load of drawings done at Museums, but sadly this is the only one.  We did see lots of Museums though, something like 3 a day for a while there.  I'll be writing more on that over at Itchy Keen and the 2D Cloud blog over the next week.

I did these two in our small room.

We also stumbled upon a tea party at Shakespeare and Company (a truly magnificent book store!).  This too, will be turned into a post at Itchy Keen.  I drew 2 of the folks there as well.
