These illustrations, which were supposed to take a couple of weeks, ended up taking somewhere in the region of 3 months. This sucks! I’m quite happy with how these have turned out, but I can’t help but extrapolate this work…
I think words are important. This is, perhaps, an unusual trait – even many of those who make their living with words seemingly have little respect or affection for them. Often we treat words with contempt, as imperfect vessels for…
