Journal 2.4.12

Yesterday I read some of Jordan Mechner's journal from the mid eighties when he was working on Prince of Persia. It made me want to have a little record of what's going on with my work to look back on.

I had a dream last night where my wife and I were attending a lecture on Pride and Prejudice (something I know nothing about) at a book store in Brisbane. During the lecture, other students were passing around a giant red and yellow lizard that was apparently someone's pet. My friend Bo Lieu was there as well, and when the lizard was passed to him, the lizard suddenly jumped out of his hands and attacked me! Then I woke up.

Last night I sent off some concepts to a client I love, but whose taste I always struggle to really figure out. The concepts were good but I will be nervous all day until I get a response.

Besides that, the premiere of Game of Thrones season 2 last night meant my other plans for my other art projects were put on hold.

Misc. items from this week

The lettuce is a picture I drew for a birthday card for a friend who is enduring a lengthy stint as a lettuce-picker. Thank you internet for the lettuce pun. Fine line pens and coloured pencils.

The comic is inspired by a BBC production of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, and also by Grointhief's recent rampant comicking.

Enjoy!
