Comic book test page

I need a quick and dirty way to get through a comic book. Messing around last night, I drew a few practice pages, trying out different things. There'll be some more messing around before I'm good to go.

Figurative drawing



I've been hiting up figurative drawing drop in sessions at the Harcourt House sporadically over the past six or seven months. Here's some from this afternoon's session. The model was excellent, my drawing was working. Here they are.

It's Postcard Time.


Here's the front and back of my postcard, I just got back from the printers, where I had a hundred of these babies printed up. Next week you'll be able to find me lurking in the magazine racks of Hub, Milner, and Crapters, with a notebook, taking names. Then I will disseminate.

Also, My friend Frederick Kroetsch did a nice little piece on Steven Teeuwson, the creator and publisher of the fantastic little art Rag 'Notebook Magazine', in which I make an appearance. Check that out here. I think it's the canned music that really makes the piece shine: particularly the 'I survived breast cancer' music that beds in during the cover montage.

And Tonight Notebook Magazine will be holding a fundraising Gala tonight at the Arts Barns, so if you're not at Wyrdfest, go down there and bid on my painting. Or any of the work from over 75 local artists who have donated work on behalf of Notebook's noble cause. I'll be pooping back and forth between the two events.

Stuntman


The Rough for this was rejected a while back, but I still liked it. It got buried in a stack of paper, and the other day I found it and thought: why not try doing it up. So here we have it.
On a metaphorical level, though, I've been stuck in this spot for most of the fall. My toes are hanging over the edge, everybody's watching, and those wings are looking pretty pov. What did I get myself into?

Study group

I was drawin' stuff at the library the other day. Among them this group of Asian girls studying.

A whole lotta different kinds of drawing going on at my end of business. This is an experiment.
