The Bear's Lament
I don't typically draw a lot of animals, so fixing that situation was the goal today. I just finished A Winter's Tale this weekend, so I guess I have bears on the brain?
Other things I did this past weekend: baked a cake. Mmm hmm.
Words + Pictures
Mixing and matching, scanning bits from here and there, reassembling. Further experimentation has been happening (see also: last week). Thumbnailing and dummy making is also being attempted and I'm taping pages on the wall as I go, looking for missteps in rhythm and prose. And in between I finished a book cover and did some lettering. So all in all, it's been a full week.
And two things:
*I just finished Hope Larson's A Wrinkle In Time adaptation. I was a diehard fan of the original and this one captures the spirit of the novel perfectly. It's well-worth the read.
*A fun review for Bella's Rules over on BookDragon.
June
Honest to goodness, I've never known a month to fly by like this one has. Nicely done, June, you outdid yourself. And I would be remiss if didn't post a link to Sarah Winifred Searle's paper dolls. I have a pirate one that I snagged at MeCAF last month, defending my bulletin board.
Ahoy mateys, anchors away.
Haut Les Coeurs
Rose-Colored Glasses
The name of the game this week has been experimentation, playing with long-forgotten pencils and a tube of Carmine Red. It's an inexact alchemy, but a darn good time nonetheless.
Wind Down
How were your Saturdays and Sundays? Me, I washed walls and finished reading Wise Blood, so I'm inclined to deem the weekend a rousing success.
