    Reminds me a bit of the Anders Pearson work in your book. I found that work (and this) captivating. Some of my babysteps into abstract comics posted on my blog were inspired/influenced by Pearson's work.

    Your piece here is almost like a sketch plan for abstract sculpture. It really foregrounds the capacity of image in sequence to capture/imitate/work with gesture. The image even seems a bit like a hand.

    Thanks, Jonny. Actually, this continues a style of drawing I've been using since college. My 2003 mini, "Yam Seal Land," was very much in this style, and I come back to it now and then.

    I really enjoyed this as well. The form really comes to life. The non-abstract image my brain applies is an amorphous form attempts at becoming a hand.

    you show great use of a skill I struggle with quite a bit and that skill is creating depth and detail through subtle and simple shading techniques

    Thanks, Aaron. You give me an excuse to post a link to the other kind of art to which I've returned recently, and which most helps (in my experience) to get that kind of skills:
