Keeping up, letting go, moving around



Chapter four is complete and presentable, I think, and chapter five will be starting soon. Excited to begin drawing that one.

Other stuff that may interest you: I've contributed some work to the new Mr. Judas. I interviewed the band No Age here. I watch this film sometimes to raise my spirits: Century 21. And, finally, I very much recommend the wonderful book The Idler's Glossary. A sample:

IDLENESS: "Idleness so called, which does not consist in doing nothing, but in doing a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class, has as good a right to state its position as industry itself," insisted a young Robert Louis Stevenson. How right he was! Idleness [from the Old English word for "worthless, useless"] may look to the untrained eye like laziness, slacking, killing time. Unlike slacking, though, idling is not the opposite of working hard, but is instead a rare, hard-won mode in which your art is your work, and your work is your art.
