We need to have impromptu town halls on their front lawns, in their resort vacation hotels, etc..

After much consideration, I've a mind that a bunch of you need a spanking.✨✋🏼🖤Trust me on this.

I didn't know of him doing self portraiture. Nice find

Thanks! I'll be posting chapter links in here asap.

I'm writing it currently. I'm about to serialize the 1st draft chapters on substack.

Second drawing is just a crowd of mobsters. The female and male of the left side of the first drawing are the villains. The female on the top right of the first drawing is a kind of a glamorous pin-up girl ghost that sometimes helps out the main character when he's in a jam.

I realize I didn't label them. But the first 3rd and 4th are of the main character, who is not named until the end of the book except the initial m. He's a reporter; a hard-boiled investigator type and he's on the run from his long time lover who tried to kill him along with her later new husband.

Thanks! I've always really strive d to make my characters make the drawings feel like they're alive. No matter what distortions or shortcuts in a drawing occur. Because in the end, when we draw characters it's all about the face. Ultimately and the body language.

Thanks for the like today!

Thanks! I really like doing minimal color shifts like these. It's a good practice for how I want illustrations to look in my novel that I'm working on.
