Hand Poem

Rescued from the margins of a notebook. My professor said, " Observe the book closed-" in class, and that struck me as poetic. This poem resulted:

Observe the hand closed:
pointer like an eye shut,
fingers like puppies in a bed,
thumb like a hand over the eyes,
nails like faces trying to hide,
knuckles an arched back,
pinky, the cold one, nuzzling in,
never gets a better spot.

Sunday Comic

I was just eating my 4:50 am Finals Macaroni and Cheese and thinking: "I'm making all this art, but no time for the Rhino? PSH!

But right then I realized that I was in a uniquely weird psychological territory that needed to get harnessed, and quick, before I got well rested and lost a special insight. That insight was the ability to not filter unformed ideas from exiting the brainspace. It did not emanate from toes - more like the central facial region. Right behind the eyes or cheeks. I'm hyping this too much. Here y'ar:

Working on a comic about watching trains with Brian. I'm planning to redraw it on a bigger scale and print it on the new machine.

Musing

Comic by Dad

Sunday Comic #82 (Tom)

More Chess Boy. I also went back and fixed last week's based on Cog's constructive crit.

Mama's Tea Time + Other Sketch

I made this comic in my notebook before the Telephone Jerry theme was out. I drew it in the book and was going to crop out some sketches on the opposite page. I thought I would leave them because that was the comic's original habitat. Also, the other half could just as much be on the Rhino.

Croatan Furniture Set: Part I

Here is the first installment in my effort to create furniture for the cabin/studio/shed in Appomattox. The beginning of the set was a chair, to be built shortly. The chair was inspired by our dining chairs at Croatan. Pictured is a desk and a small side table.

Sunday Comic #80?

These are some sketches for a new comic I'm planning out. Just trying to figure out a style. I think cutout/ collage is gonna be the way to go. 
P.S. The leaves in the feet of the cutout sketch were cut out of a real leaf!
