i spent all morning drawing this train and a hundred bricks, so you are going to appreciate it. the worst thing about drawing the civil war is that there are all these trains and bricks everywhere. and when there aren't any trains or bricks, there are horse carriages and similarly difficult things to draw. talking heads i can do all day long, but wide angle establishing "shots" may well be the death of me.
the good news is that this train appears on page 9 which means i am making something like progress. and yes, i cheated by recycling some old art (which hopefully won't look too spectacularly inconsistent ~ but then i expect much of this project might be just that: wildly and bizarrely inconsistent). but tally ho and all that rot ~ onward unto the breach!
: o p
it's zowie cold out and tried to snow earlier, but then dropped below freezing, which put a kaibosh on that. i think we're s'posed to get wind chills in the -40 range. i'd rather have three feet of snow.
entertaining things for people who like random historical junk: The Civil War Diary of George Taylor Granger and a cool letter written by an assistant surgeon at Gettysburg.
i spent entirely too much time today looking for pictures of trains and street views of Baltimore during the war. i am now going to make a sandwich for lunch. yay lunch! hope everyone is having a productive sattidy!

I'm hoping and praying the snow will hold off until after my bus ride. I leave Monday night and reach Minneapolis at six in the morning, where I switch buses to head to Montana and then Wyoming. I'm so nervous about snowstorms. Weather forecast doesn't say any, but well, you never know...
Speaking of snow, I'm still amazed by the size of the drifts here in Iowa. Went for a walk, and the snow was up to my knees - made for a hard walking.

wow, i can't believe you're off! i hope you have good traveling weather (i will pray for it!). meanwhile, i still envy your drifts. it's ridiculously cold up this way ~ too cold for snow, which is sad sad sad.
