Thar Be Dragons...

I was browsing through Comic Book Tattoo, it's a huge graphic novel with many different artists work. I came upon a cool dragon as part of a larger image, so I drew him. I can't find the artist's name anywhere, or else I would add it...

Now that I have him inked and scanned, let the colouring begin!

He's about 9x12, so I'll be making many different sizes to play with...

ooh, how many different coloured dragons will I make?

The Art Journal Project

I got together with my friend Patti and my new friend Anonova, and together we created our own Art Journals. Patti patiently showed us the art of coptic binding which after much determination and a little swearing, we made our very own hand-bound art journals to create in.
