slightly wonky

So, I’ve got some new ink.  I like it!  It’s this non-toxic stuff that cleans up pretty easily.  Which is good, as I tend to get it all over my hands.  I’m pretty good about wearing gloves for awhile…but then I always end up throwing them on the table and just getting my hands inky.  So, as I’ve mentioned previously, I have a hard time keeping my hands looking somewhat reasonable.

This is sort of an odd, cartoonish series.  Not sure where I’m going here.  I was thinking of children’s drawings, but then with an adult mind and the heaviness that it brings.  I may try a different paper, as this one is quite bumpy (toothy?)  Hmm…I was initially thinking that these were neat, but now I’m not so sure…

These are so great!! So unusual and beautiful colors!

Thanks so much! They are a bit cartoonish, but we’ll see how things go…

SEE!! I told you you have a future in children’s book illustrating. You’re a natural! Though the last one, where the giant green piranha is crushing him and he’s lying in a pool of…(let’s hope it’s ink) is a little Edward Gorey-ish, but hey, I love Edward Gorey!
