Flying is on my mind I guess...


Whatever you do with your new year, make it a year in which living your dreams will make your spirit soar.

Have a fantastic holiday season and be good to each other.

John.

comic store sketches

Did these today with a dip pen and ink. I don't use traditional media enough. Cheap and cheerful as they say.

Evening sun

The evening sun on the coast is not to be missed.

Blue guy and the blonde chick





A couple of fun rough sketches. Little blue dude is often suprised by something out of shot. And blonde chick is always running. It's an exciting life they lead. :-)

A walk in the marsh

The power of nuttiness. All the colours are different hues of orange. Even the blues and greens are all in the orange range. The image didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but better to post than to not.

Bears hangin' out

All aboard the plainsfish

When driving across Saskatchewan, there are the odd oil derricks and communications towers popped up. My brain, such as it is, wondered if perhaps they were way points for people to board enormous plains fish which would transport them across the vasty grassiness to their destinations.

La Gadoue

Like a pig in muck I tells ya.

And off we go

Well, for those of you who are kind enough to check in here from time to time, I'm off on a whirlwind cross country move, from Ottawa ON to Vancouver BC. So no sketches for a while, but might have a few upon my settling down.

All the best, hope to have more pics for you to ogle at in the near future.

Car-rot?

Everyone needs a carrot now and then.

Can't sleep....

Lying awake at night is never fun.

Corto

My contribution to the little contest myself and Rob Moran are having. We name a comic character, draw it, then the other does their version. So, this is my answer to Rob's fantastic rendering of Corto Maltese by the venerable Hugo Pratt.

wrong handed sketches.




A few sketches I did with my wrong (right side) hand. I like the feel I got. I have to do it more, see if I can't refine it a bit more.
