Placeholding Clown

This is here because everything else I tried this evening failed more spectacularly. I came up with the first original story idea I've had for a long time this morning. I'll be working on that and putting it up. BUt I want to make that break through this middling stuff and mean something. Meantime. Clown.

Something freehand for once

Poppy from antique photo

This is from a photo of my grandfather Phillip Ivanovich Jetnikoff in his uniform. I was trying for another thing but it got too omplicated and I ran out of time. So here is my second representation of PIJ whom we called poppy. A man with a gently absurdist sense of humour.

Janine Smits

From an old story of mine. I wanted to get a pencil sketch from a long time ago and I found one in the first sketchbook I started before getting into comics. This worked a treat as I didn't want to stop once I'd finished it. Only other things that I needed to do stopped me. So, getting better...

No more numbered days. Gail at party.

Just a quickie of an old pencil just to reconnect with this blog, and my cintiq after too long away. I really need to keep in touch with both .So here we are again.

Day 6 - Grandfather's eye

Taken from a formal photograph of my grandfather. I'll do the whole thing and probably return to it like the old student card image.

Day 5 - Banyan

From a photo of a banyan tree taken by a friend on Magnetic Island as requested for use in backgrounds for The Monsoons.
