“I think everyone, at some point, enters a sort of comfortable rhythm in life. For most, they never find an exit, remaining comfortably discontent amongst (what der steppenwolf would refer to as) the bourgeois. Men of families, men of duty, even men living on their own accord share in this society of the estranged. Some may very well nurture this social alienation and move to isolate interaction with the world, while others spend their days feeling only the gravity of loneliness and have yet to exact the dissatisfaction they face. These men make up a pretty little family of hermits. And while some go willingly and some never realize this brotherly union, these hermits share a unique awareness lost on most. Still some may find the ways of the hermit at once attractive, but a man alone is a man to no one.”

I just finished editing all of the drawings for my hermit book! John helped me scan them on his amazingly huge, high quality, art school scanner for geniuses. They look so good!

I only just realized how much fun it would be to redraw some of my older work in my current style… I’m so excited!!!

I finally got my scanner back, but apparently it’s pretty terrible at working with graphite drawings. Even after much fine tuning in photoshop, there’s tons of detail lost. I normally don’t need to scan graphite illustrations, but I’ve already done most of my next book in pencil… Arrrrggggh

Panther In The Dark
I can’t tell if I hate this or not. It’s more watercolor practice though, yay.

I’ve been trying to use my little watercolor set more lately. It’s coming along nicely, but drawing from pictures is always easier. Now to take them into the field will be a horse of a different color…

More Watercolor Practice. I don’t have my scanner right now, but I think this shows most of the detail!
