Rhapsodies

DUNE is a local group of indie cartoonists and illustrators who gather at Cafe Racer every third Tuesday where over the evening everybody does a page of art then you put down three dollars and it gets printed in the group’s monthly zine.

I’d known about it for over a year but due to have very busy Tuesday evenings I’d either continually forgotten about it or wasn’t able to do it but last month I remembered it.

So it was a nice bunch of artists, many of whom I knew. And after a half hour of brainstorming I started work inspired by the Danse Macabre sketch I’d done that day featuring Bonnie Jackson (or at least another little girl who looks a lot like her) I finished it in two hours. It came out pretty well considering I realized after the fact that this was not a 24 hour comics marathon and this wasn’t a race against the clock (much) and the cheap pen I was using started dying halfway through.

Anyway I just got the original back so see what you think. (Sorry that it kind of comes off as a really late Halloween piece.)
