Yesterday, David was struck by not one but two Dana Scully references within the same hour.
In commemoration, I offer this.

A night of sketchin’.

Making a fresh ugly every week means that sometimes, things are gunna be a little (lot) late.
MEH, I’m just doing this to see the evolution of my hair anyway.

Let’s start this week out properly, hm?
I think we all can take something from this message.

11″ x 15″  Gouache

Structural integrity of  mind and body have returned to normal. Now it’s time to get real busy! And real ugly!

The Legend of the Suram Fortress wasn’t as soul shattering as Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors but the visuals were still unrelenting.

ALSO! My dear cousin Rachel increased the population yesterday! Welcome Owen, welcome welcome.

Coming down from my Euro-jaunt I find my brain simply flayed open. Creatively, I’ve felt overwhelmed with ambition.
Desperation and excitement have reduced me to a bundle of giddy nerves. Paired with the lovely delirium of jet lag and
sickness and I’ve been a real gem to be around.

So I’ve started to work bigger. This is intimidating seeing that most of my work is contained inside a 3.5″ x 5.5″ sketchbook.
Decisions seem more important. I’ve tried to relive some of the stress by working on the same image in pairs. It’s a neurotic
process but it soothes my brain. We will see what happens.

Here are two heads, they are big heads. I did them at the same time.

Good morning lovelies.

Stockholm sketching.

Not too many Stockholm sketches to share but what I do have I will share in due time.
