Nine ink drawings I did of bookstores around the world.

Nine ink drawings I did of bookstores around the world.

Bookstores from around the world. I inked these in early 2023 during a very difficult time in my life. It’s good to look back on them as lights in the darkness.

The same page, 8 years ago. I sometimes forget how much I have grown as an artist. Pretty sure the entire page took less than the initial sketch of the new version.

I don't need to go this hard on these pages. But who would I be if I didn't?
I'm not here to make the best art in the world, but I'm here to make a story that's been with me for nearly 10 years and finally is being revived.

Roughly 4 hours of work done so far on this page, and still got ways to go! Really loving how it's coming together though, I'm having fun with this.

Well, this is going to take forever to ink using my lightbox. ...I also may need to mod my art table to have a complete lightbox to put over it so these bigger pages don't take *as much* trouble to ink

It's not often anymore that I have over 10 sketch layers, but to keep track of everything here I really had to keep adding and adding. Could I merge some at this point? I guess

Remember this cover I did? Well, she put me back in the saddle to get you another awesome book! But until that's done, be sure to head on over to a.co/d/6TmdscL and pick yourself up a copy of Atomic Stories!

And so a new adventure starts, just like that! Life On Cora #8 is officially a thing after a pretty serious hiatus. I had to find myself again in a new life, a family, and even a new house. Since November last year, it's been a rough time but I'm picking myself up by the bootstraps!
