Scrappies

I have very, very busy...ok, I am always busy, but I have been cranking the machine at full lately. I wish I could show a lot of what I am working on, like inking Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man over Mike Weiringo, but alas I can't post those pages yet. But I do have some of my own comic projects in line though so I will be working on some more 'creator owned' comics. School is down to 3 weeks left in the semester too. But I have hardly drawn for pleasure in a while,hardly done stuff for myself between various DRAW! mag projects, inking and teaching. Some days I scribble before inking to warm up,drawing directly with the pen or brush like 'automatic writing". I never know what I will draw... the scrappies as I call them are below.


Bigger version here.

The fox doodle was colored by Bonaia my assistant.

Hey, have I been "scrapped"?!! That middle-aged looking woman in the lower right corner with the sagging fun bags looks a little too familiar mister!
Good gravy, I was just joking, but the more I think about that chest...
Word verification of the day is:
