look at that ink splatter!

what a mess. working with ink is like working with nitroglycerine.

all the news thats shit to print…

These are old newspapers that me and my son made. He furiously types gibberish on his mom's old typewriter and make's me draw “photos” to go with them. I say, you can spell, why not type up real stories? “Naw,” he said, like that was the dumbest fucking thing in the world to say.
Look, people, this is hard-hitting news.

well, looky here, an old-timey “splash page.” Page one of Seabrook. To be destroyed and redrawn another day.

back cover of that new little book I just finished.

get to work!

I can't put it off any longer. Today I start drawing this 300 page biography of Adventure writer explorer William Buehler Seabrook. Seven years of research, with research trips to Oregon, New York City and  North Carolina. Settings include Haiti, the Middle East, the Ivory Coast and Paris in the 1930's. But no pressure here. Warm up drawing of Seabrook this morning.

So, this is what the cover of that new little book I am doing will look like.
It's not finished, of course.
