New Sketches

New Sketches

 

 

 

 

I started a new book in October 2011, with the goal of finishing a sketch every day – quickly and in pen – for as long as I could. No pencil or erasing allowed. I had a good run until a) I was sucked in by detail and the drawings took a slow turn, and b) I had to drop all sketching to focus on work for the Dec ’11 mixed show. Here’s what I have so far, with work ongoing…

Slugs Revenge Part 1                                                          Slugs Revenge Part 2
Our garden has slugs. Lots and lots of slugs. Every morning in the summer I do “Slug Patrol” and cut up any little bastards I find. I picture their kin watching and plotting from the shadows, planning their revenge.

Slugs Revenge Part 3    Oh shit. They’re evolving. The war continues…
