I Keep Thinking About It & More

1. I Keep Thinking About It   2. Preliminary Sketches For I Keep Thinking About It:              3. Cypress Mountain                                              1. I was light on the hatching with " I keep Thinking About It ", and my pen nib choices gives a rather faint appearance, to me. I was hesitant to experiment with heavier lines and shadows. It was the first comic strip, I began, after going a long period of time, not creating one. So, I did more prep work, with preliminary sketches and concepts.

Plugged #1

1. Plugged #1            1. My most demanding work, so far, has been creating sequential art, in the form of comic strips. " Plugged #1 " is another effort, I drew, regarding ideas in a five panel sequence. This comic strip is about a single man, who is a bottom, managing his desires alone. He longs to have that " special top " meet his needs, but he has not had any luck, in finding him. I was still experimenting with space, and the amount of detail, I thought would be suitable for scenes as these, on such a smaller scale. I took another hiatus, from creating comics, after this particular strip was finished.       Preliminary Sketches 1-8            1.                                                   2.                      ...
