margin of error

Its not always easy to draw something every day, and scan it, and post it.  Maybe its time for me to get an instagram or a tumblr......

Anyway, if nothing else, i'll start posting my margin doodles (from my current book projects).  Its just like in school; as I write on a subject, images pop into my head, and i'll draw them in the page margins and tie it in to the story (see the arrow there)

More from the elf/gnome collection.  The trick is finding new and different ways to represent elfin characters.  do they play instruments ?  Have critters as companions?

gnomes

More fantasty gnome ideas.  Not sure what this is going to develop into yet, still musing on it

Here's another sketch page from a book I'm collaborating on with my sister.  The goal is to have enough of this together, by 1 month from now, that I can send it off to the publisher.  As soon as I have something cohesive, I'll show you guys where I got my inspiration.(a rad artist.  you may want to buy his book too!)


Starving artist fund:
sold a few ebay items today, and picked up a sweet new futon!   Free new stuff is always nice.
Plus - my good friend "Mr. Wrench" gave me a few cleaning-out-the-garage items, which I havent decided whether to keep or sell yet.  We'll see

character studies

This should be right side up, but I still get my camera orientation mixed up sometimes (and you can't rotate images in the blog).
These were doodles from this weekend, just stuff to keep my mind busy while I was at the old car swap meet, waiting for buyers to trickle past.  Eventually this will develop into a webcomic blog
