Another *very* old sketch. I actually did quite a bit of work on several projects on the weekend, did some get sketches and crossed several things off my list. Alas I cannot show anything as of yet (I’m mysterious like that).

Willow
I have absolutely nothing new and completed to share. Oh, there are ‘things’ done, but as one can see, I like ‘series’ and I don’t like posting compositions without their friends (I have done that already, and I don’t like it).
So here’s something old. Olllllld. Past 2006, I think. A sketch of the Weeping Willow, a character from the beloved King’s Quest series (in this case, King’s Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder). I was revisiting this a little while ago, but now that’s on the back burner, so…here’s the ollllld one.
So much going on right now – and most of it I can’t talk about even past completion. Bah!
It’s that scar. No, not that one, the other one…the other, other one
So, ignoring the scars by my knuckles and those down on my arm, please witness the horizontal scar that lays across my right wrist – it is now just a reminder of all the pain, restrictions and, um, whining from the past few years (not to mention the past intense weeks). I think I am now at a turning point, able to do after-work activities and exercises (but of course I will still be ‘taking it easy). I was going to give a ‘thumbs up’ to my recovery but I still don’t think ‘they’ know whether the thumbs up was a good or bad indication in Rome, so a sideways thumb it is, in preparation for the ‘good’ call.

Ask not for the time, ask how a clock works
Been doing a lot of ‘deep’ thinking lately. Hopefully will be able to do some recreational drawing soon to ooze it all out.

Bitten.
A good thing about having a recovering right wrist is I have a lot of reading (sigh, yes, and TV) time. One of the books/graphic novels I have been enjoying as of late is Bite Me! by Dylan Meconis. It’s a funny vampire tale of epic proportions and chickens and I just got my printed copy in the mail last week. You can read it online or buy the printed version; it has a very nice shiny cover, real pages and it gets rid of the complications that are involved in reading a webcomic. Instead of clicking a button, you turn a page! No need to worry about your Internet connection if you do it old school.
As for the image above…well…there was a contest for Bite Me! that I just had to enter. A friend introduced me to the comic long ago and I felt that spending a weekend dressed-up* with painted potatoes and eggs was the best way to show my respects for it…as can be seen here. I must add that later the potatoes were made into mashed garlic taters. (The scene is from this page by the way)
*is it really dressing up if the clothes are from your everyday wardrobe? sigh.
