reverdy johnson explains it all ~

it's been a long while since i updated the condition of my desk. probably because there's not much to show and tell. the same projects have been sitting, sort of flitting, around the desktop for the last month with scarcely a breeze to disturb them. it's gotten to the point where, unsure of exactly what's on the desk in its piles, i'd just as soon not disturb it (i may not like what i find).


for example, this sketch below of Reverdy Johnson explaining the lazy way to make panels for comics. on a scale of 1-10 of weirdness, i'm pretty sure this rates a 10 (at least!). put in context of the overall conspiracy pile on the desk, however, it brings it down to about a 6. still, sometimes i find things among my own dreck that amuse me and this definitely ranks.


the panel next to it is Colonel Bolton and General Hartranft from a series of sketches i made testing out a pen. there's a note on the page that says something about Bolton having a nightmare about looking for his teeth (which he lost when he was shot in the face in battle). it sounds like a great idea that i had, but sadly can't remember the exact context. i am hoping that somewhere in my pile is some note that explains what i was getting at.

even though these sketches are just toss-off jibberish, i actually like them. i certainly have a lot more confidence in the pen strokes when i'm not the least bit serious about what i am drawing.

happy sunday, all!

p.s. i finally made a "desk" tag. that only took me forever.
