Under the Waves
Sketchbook-in' it today. I think she's got the right idea for these temps.
And I wasn't kidding about those berries, proof positive.
Les Framboises
The raspberries are out, as are the blueberries and (inevitably) the mosquitoes. The combination of all three means I'm eating lots of berries and continuously itching insect-inflicted battle scars. But it's worth it all, a sort of summer badge of honor.
Now if you don't mind me, it's 90+ degrees here and I'm sans air conditioner. Basically, that's a long-winded wind-up to say that I'm going swimming.
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.
