The Massive Paws of Elder Persons

May 23, 2015

The massive paws of elder persons is a quote by Hilaire Belloc published in The Bad Child's Book of Beasts, 1896. I feel like I am trying to avoid the massive paws too, dodging cookie cutter jobs and a cookie cutter life. I imagine that I live inside the little door, but the massive paws are so scary! I am surrounded!

This drawing reminds me of Charles Addams, whom I love. I wonder if the white bottom is uncomfortable. Maybe I will play around with making a light wash. Here since the background is also white, maybe it works.

This blog describes the everyday process of being a writer and illustrator. Sometimes I post sketches, sometimes finished works. I like sketches the best because for me they show the creativity in pure form.
