Another Very Nice Marrowbones Review And Odds And Ends

Please check out this very nice Marrowbones review, so amazing for this little book to still be getting reviews! Especially for a digital comic I sold from this blog about 6 months ago.

The long weekend is over and I took a much needed break. Though rushing around to all the family dinners was a stressful thing in itself. We also stated winterising the house and I did a lot of sketching and reading. I'm reading Arabel's Raven written by one of my favorite writers Joan Aiken and illustrated by one of my favorite illustrators Quentin Blake. The book is a total joy and sounds great when read aloud.

After I get some more work done on Maddy I'm going to try some experiments with coloured inks for an upcoming project. I've experimented with them before on an old Halloween comic, which you can see here, and used a limited palette of indigo an orange. Now I'd like to try a full colour comic with coloured inks over India ink. On Facebook Charles Vess suggested I try this and I love the work he does in this medium. But it looks nerve wracking, much less forgiving than watercolour or gouache. But those colours are amazing.
