What I Posted Last Week On Patreon

Last week was Fourth Thursday on my Patreon page, and I posted some work in progress from my upcoming book PERSPECTIVE IN ACTION, this time a sequence showing me copying a photograph using an angled mirror, a method borrowed from the film Tim’s Vermeer:

David Chelsea is reading; Society is Nix: Gleeful Anarchy of the Dawn of the American Comic Strip 1895-1915

This is a terrific copying method, and kudos to software designer and inventor Tim Jenison for devising it. As you move your head around, you can match the tones of the picture you’re copying to those in the painting exactly, so that the edge of the mirror virtually disappears. This is me copying a photograph of my sister Anny:

And here’s the final result, side-by-side with the original. Not a bad match!

I also posted the fourth and final installment of a comic which Snow Angel flies to Pluto, and saves Earth from a comet. Well, actually, THAT story finished last week. This week it’s a two-page coda featuring the REAL Snow Angel. Attentive readers of this blog will remember the post in which I speculated that, if M.K. Brown had drawn Snow Angel, instead of a little girl dressed as as angel, she would have been an angel-shaped depression in the snow that stopped criminals by tripping them up. Since Ms. Brown has shown no interest, I have finally drawn that strip myself:
