After two lovely weeks away I’m back in the studio, chained to the desk on a beautiful day, watching the last embers of summer fade away. Why can’t the weather work weekends?
I’ve had a rather enjoyable start back, drawing with pencil and paper like they did in the olde days. I’m working on a trailer for Wereworld, Curtis Jobling’s debut novel. Its the first time in a while I’ve done some comic-book style work and it feels great.
