Another pen drawing

The night before last I began another detailed pen drawing. I'm only working on this at night just before bed. It has Melusine in it again. I don't know where the narrative is going, but isn't that just like a novel?

What I would like to do is a huge pen drawing, perhaps next year.

Finished new drawing

Here she is. Melusine. HAs anyone thought who the mystery man behind the curtain might be?

New Drawing of Melusine reading, work in progress

Have I done any of the 101 things I was supposed to be doing this weekend?
Um, no.
But I did spend a lot of time working on a new pen drawing of my crab-clawed mermaid Melusine. I love the work of Edward Gorey and decided to do a full out, detailed piece inspired by his style.

Hoping to waste more time on it when I get home this afternoon.

November is upon us

Here are some pen sketches I have done for a proposed book about Emily and Angus who have to go live with Aunt Adelaide. Her house and furniture are far from ordinary and they may well be sinister. The above picture is of a fairy in a glass dome.

This illustration is a bit of a ring in. It is the toy shop of William La Motte who dies in mysterious circumstances. It is a ring in because it actually belongs to another story

entirely .

Aunt Adelaide's favourite chair.

And this is the aunt herself, is there something a little strange about her?

Gothic Graphic Novel Idea

I've loaded them up back to front so that the top one, which should be the last in the sequence, is first, so scroll down and then back up.

I've been playing around with some black and white drawings of the creatures I am designing for a book proposal of knitted Gothic creatures. I though it would be fun to do a comic with them.
