These are a couple doodles that were inspired by trips to several of Paris’ comic shops.

This is one of those drawings where I really have no idea what was going through my mind. I had been looking at a lot of Carlos Nine at the time, but I don’t really know if anyone would know it by looking at this. Oh well.

This one is simply titled “Ghost Girl.”

These are some character studies of one of the characters in my story for Out of Picture 2. He’s based on the breakerboys that worked in coal mines back in the late 1800’s – early 1900’s before there were child labor laws in the U.S. This was an idea I started developing back in 1994 while still in school at Ringling, but never completely fleshed out the story.

I still haven’t, really. The story I’m telling in OOP 2 is just a small standalone episode that introduces some of the ideas of the larger narrative.
