bugsybanana left, I spent two or three hours at ground, reading A Ring of Swords and occasionally sketching. I’m trying out that new brush pen, and it really rocks. Nice flow, controllable, flexible. And the ink is remarkably well-behaved, not seeping through even the mere 60-lb paper in my sketchpad.

This second sketch reminds me a bit of Jeff Nicholson’s work in Through the Habitrails (one of the most frightening comics ever, a brilliant Kafkaesque nightmare story about having a day job), because I didn’t bother with her mouth. (If you decide to order it from Colonia Press, scroll down the page and go for the first edition. Not only is it cheaper, but it lacks the epilog which actually sort of ruins the ending and was just a set-up for a sequel series that never materialized.)
