Another panel from Maddy Kettle, this one is the scene where Maddy, Harry and Silvio, having already met in the desert and formed a sort of team, find themselves in an ancient bat cave where they meet Inky the bat. I won't give away any more details, this all happens about midway through the book. I'm starting to get into a real groove work wise, penciling one page after another. I'm a few pages away from having another stack of 20 pages to pencil, which I plan to have done by Christmas. If you've never done something like a graphic novel the way you need to plan ahead over months requires a lot of discipline and fore thought. It's weird to have a goal 2 months in advance and worry about meeting it, but that is a lot of drawings. What a crazy thing to do. I'm feeling pretty fortunate I can do it at all.
Read a great laugh out loud interview with one of my favorite cartoonists Jim Woodring yesterday, you can read it
here. It's from 1993 but still relevant.
Here's a more contemporary one.
On a side note Henry ate a googley eye yesterday. The nurse says this is perfectly fine. But, boy, what a weird thing to eat.
