A Couple of Bird Studies



I haven't been posting lately but I've been spending most of my spare time trying to finish a series of eight "words and pictures" drawings. I hope to be done with them by this weekend. Then I will have met Ellis's ten drawing criterion and we can at last hear his great idea! In the meantime, here's a couple of bird sketches.

  1. Cool Tom! Really like the detail. I hope you washed your hands after drawing these. I wouldn't want you to catch the Avian Bird Flu now.

  2. Sorry, you ruined my idea by channging styles. Just kidding. Dig the birds. My big idea is that whatever 10 sketches you did in that Rick Geary looking style, everyone in the Blog take those and turn them into a comic book page, arranged in whatever order. And then do that Rick Geary, non sequiter storytelling with your images. That's my big idea. Figured I'd go ahead and get the disappointment with the idea over with.

  3. I like the idea, Mr. G. I think you could do that with what ever turns up on the this blog.

    Nice work, as always Tom... glad to see you back!

  4. Thanks all-
    I think that's a great idea Ellis, but I guess I did ruin it because my next eight drawings will be sequential and tell a story. I'll probably send them out to all the comic book group guys first. It's another one of those "Cosmic Theater" kinda things.

  5. Sounds great! Maybe you should start a Cosmic Theatre blog!

  6. BeeeYOUTaful Tom!

    I like Ellis' idea. I also liked Rickart's early guess at what Ellis's idea might be. Which was to collect our favorites and print them somehow.

  7. Hey Skribbl... you've put together a collection of sketches by different artists and sold it at the Con before... how did that go for you guys? Was it expensive? Did it sell well?

  8. Dammit, Tom! I get all tingly knowing you are drawing again. Thanks for the pleasurable sensations.

  9. ...I think it's the contrast between the delicacy of your drawings, and the brutality of your extra-curricular interests. Taken together, you're like a savage surgeon.

    Or in this case, an ornery ornithologist.

  10. I think Davis has found a new online handle for you, Tom! ;)

  11. Thanks Marty,
    By the way, I like your blog, but show us more artwork! Or at least more photos of you and Blair out on the town. We're artists; too many words make my head hurt...
