Brian Moore's Sketchblog

Here’s the latest snapshot of the debris inhabiting my drawing table. Visible are a suitably grimy copy of Weegee’s Naked City, a template I made for my thumbnail pages, Here at the New Yorker by Brendan Gill, the excellent Vampire Loves by Joann Sfar, and a giant bottle of antacid. The basic cartoonist’s toolkit.

The light at the end of the tunnel? Not by a long shot. Pretty, though.

Here’s a peek at what’s currently on my drawing board. All I can say is that 15th century miniature painters must have been made out of patience.

Lettering. If it’s any good, no one notices. If it’s terrible, everyone notices. (I’m aiming for “amiably crude, yet legible.”)

At the left you can see a little bit of the minicomic excerpt of The Sweetened By-and-By I made for SPX 2008. I am presently re-writing the hell out of that story.

What’s on my drawing table at the moment: a new sketchbook, multiple drafts of my graphic novel in progress, my minicomic, various doodles.
