Ink

Enjoying a few days off and catching up on reading and drawing. Read Jordi Bernet's new "Clara", Fantagraphics' latest "Dennis the Menace" collection and their first volume of Segar's "Popeye". Then I pulled the complete EC "Panic" collection out and pored through the work of Davis, Elder & Wood. I got jazzed and had to take out the Winsor & Newton #2 brush and a bottle of Higgins Ink and have some fun.

For the last ten years I've mainly worked in pencil. Or felt tip pens. Sometimes Black Prismacolor pencils. Lately I've been trying to re-develop my traditional skills, so I've been doing a lot of sketching in pencil, instead of using the non-photo blue pencil as a crutch.
Now I'm trying to get a handle on brush inking.

Hopefully, continued practice will bring better results.

Happy Thanksgiving!

"Hey... nice dog!"

Still
having
fun
at
Coney
Island.

Coney Island

I like the idea
of sending
"the little guy"
to places
I can't visit
right now.

After talking with
my friend Hope
about Coney Island
at work today,
I've been thinking of
"Nathan's" Hot Dogs
& French Fries.

Hence the sketch.

Uh-Oh...
