Somewhere back in the archives is the original version of Grandfather (Grandmother?) Dagon here. I’m not sure where that sketch is. It had gotten so smudged that doing a new version seemed a better idea than trying to finish the original.

Back in Use
I’m not sure when the Woggle Bug pill label illustrations (posted yesterday) were done but there’s obviously a date on this page. For whatever reason the sketchbook was set aside for at least a year, probably longer. I started dating sketches after I started posting here and it became obvious how imprecise my memory is.

These labels were done for the Woggle Bug entry on the Oz Squad Who’s Who page.
Strange Eggs
I illustrated a two page story (written by Steve Ahlquist) for one of the Strange Eggs anthologies. These sketches were done to get a feel for the characters.

Finally raining again around here. That’s a relief. I get cranky if there’s too much sun too many days in a row.
