Here are some of the sketches I plan to turn into colored illustrations over the next few months. No doubt I will get distracted and work up new sketches before all of these get completed. I’ve also started work on a graphic novel commission that I expect will take up most of the time that isn’t currently filled by my day job.

The audience had suggested that they illustrate a shoggoth at the circus. Since I had my sketchbook and drawing tools with me, I thought it would be fun to see what I could come up with. Nick, Mike and Lee’s final pieces can be seen in this Con report at Bizarro Central.
