QUICK COLOR TEST
Here’s a color test for a group of bigger pieces I’m making. It’s really just a quick sketch of a diorama – I achieved a pretty nice fade in the sky. It’s nice to have something new to post something (even a sketch), as I’ve happily been sharing roller derby stuff lately. Yet, I have been busy working on new things for an upcoming show.
I’ve been thinking about magic lately. This piece relates to the subject, and starts what I expect will be a lengthy, summer long discussion. There’s a ship full of bishops attempting to land on an island, and the lighthouse keeper is warning them of a particular treachery.
Life is good and full of magic. I’m very grateful.

work in progress: acrylic paint on Tyvek house wrap
I’m working on some new things for comics. Happy Illustration Friday!
For Illustration Friday’s “paisley” prompt. I read on Wikipedia that paisleys are sort of like Yin/Yang, so it must be true. The first image was drawn with an old fashioned nib pen on a scrap of duck canvas and then painted with acrylics – the dime was scanned with it to show scale. I picked up some acrylic retarder, which slows the drying time of the paint considerably.
The seahorse below that was painted on a scrap of Tyvek house wrap. I’ve drawn on that stuff with sharpies, and wondered how it would hold paint. Tyvek is awesome. It’s extremely durable. The scrap shown here has been outside for three years. And, it’s quite paint-able.
Happy Friday, peeps.
