It should be mentioned that my fiance Laura did not have this dream specifically. She does have dreams that are very deep and thoughtful. It’s almost shameful that my dreams are what they are by comparison.

I wish I could say that the entirety of the story told in this strip was fiction. The sad truth is that the interaction with the Good Morning Man is verbatim. The sadder truth is that there really is a growing evil in the world rearing it’s head in people like him, in behaviors like those I saw in his hateful eyes. A week later, a co-worker told me that I needed to let it go. The specific incident isn’t what bothers me any more as much as what it means for society in general.

Is it considered ironic that having rendered this story as a comic, I can actually look back with laughter? I let it go with creativity.

The Batman, to be precise. One of the all time classics, rendered unclassically, although not without class, I should hope. I can’t just stick to normal conventions of comic-book style. There’s too much of it out there, and it’s not very good. So instead, I’ll always render heros with a more interesting approach, something more conceptual.

As I’ve said before, in much earlier posts, my concepts of Batman are greatly motivated by those who have seen a brief glimpse or two of him as he would operate in the darkness of a shadow, with a second in the light.

In this instance, the concept is loosely based on sketches witnesses have rendered of supernatural phenomena, such as an alien or bigfoot.

The whole cottage is made of wood, stained dark and deep with age. I love this sketch, the third in the eBay Charity Auction for March of Dimes.

Neither particularly magnificent nor towering, the Lighthouse in Point Clark has something magical, almost haunting, about it.

It might have to do with the structure being over 150 years old and the first structure in Canada to be named a Historic Site.

Sketch from the far end of the beach of the lighthouse and surrounding scenery (Pretty much just Lake Huron), at Point Clark, ON.

This sketch was the first on a series of five 2″ by 3″ Sketch-Cards. The cards are to be auctioned off on eBay to raise money for the March of Dimes.
At this point a shout-out must be given to Adriana, over at Fall On Me, for posting the call, and Steve, for making it happen.

So, in the immortal words of upcoming film: COMING SOON!

Concept sketch for an Anime style video game about young students who are also detectives. I chose to break style and have a little fun with it. Again, rendered on a WACOM tablet.
