color study for mood

I've been musing about a graphic novel idea for a while. And now I've begun putting the pen to the page. Just a color study for the mood, but it's a start.

A while back I read a beautiful essay about Mac Tonnies, the author talked about twittering with Mac. She said she wanted to work on a novel, that it was her dream, but she simply didn't have the time.

Mac replied: "Find the time."

When I read that, it felt like Mac was talking directly to me.

(more soon)

Mac Tonnies' book is on the shelves

My friend Mac Tonnies asked me to do the illustrations for the interior of his book titled The Cryptoterrestrials. I was deeply honored to play a small role in this important work. Mac died in his sleep in October of last year, and the world is at a loss without his brilliant mind and calm voice. I miss him terribly.

For all you liberal arts majors, take a peek at these funny little sketches. Hopefully you'll recognize more than a few.

Picasso works re-drawn (in the dark) in a class called HISTORY OF MODERN ART. I was a 19 year old NYU student, and this was the first real exposure I had to these paintings having just left the suburbs of Detroit. I am quite smitten with the frantic charm of these rapid fire sketches. No boing marks.

French impressionism, all done is quick sketches in the low light of that NYU lecture auditorium in Greenwich Village. I was watching slides projected behind the professor, and I drew 'em as fast as I could on crummy lined paper. I drew these with a pen I can no longer find. I was 19 years old. Alas, no boing marks.
