First off, I'd like to invite you to follow my Twitter posts. While I tend to use the blog for more formal posts (finished pieces, generally), I do use Twitter a bit more frequently to post doodles, sketches, and other work-in-progress drawings. So to keep up on what I'm doing, head over to My Twitter Page!
Today's drawing is of, well, as you can see... crows!
On one hand I suppose crows might be considered cliche or low-brow. But alas, like skulls, there's no denying their strength as gothic, otherworldly icons. I might attribute my fascination with them to watching Hitchcock's The Birds as a white-knuckled child. In any case, those of you who have read my book Stressed Out West: a nervous wordless graphic novel know that crows aren't anything new to my work... just something that's been lying dormant. I've had the itch to get back to drawing them, and I suspect this might be the beginning of a new body of work. Again, many more crows are up on my twitter page.
Happy snow-day to those of you in North Texas!
