Direction

Let’s keep this simple. I could put a whole lot of explanation behind this, but people would just focus on the explanation and not the revelation. And the revelation is this:

As charming as my comics have been in the past, they are not all that unique. There are other comics out there that deliver better. But I seem to have hit upon something I’m not seeing much of in my dragons!

Have you seen much like them these days?

It’s not that the images are of dragons, exactly. It’s more the media and presentation and purpose I’m talking about: clearly illustrated, wordless, single panel cartoons.

Even better, I think I am getting more ideas for this kind of project.

I will need to experiment and be patient and see what the process is before I can make any promises to myself or to others, but I haven’t been quite so happy with my drawings in a long time as I have with those dragons.

Anyway, if they do remind you of someone else’s work, no matter how old or new, please do give me links and/or names! I’d like to study what other people have done in the genre. Norman Rockwell is a given, and that guy on the back of Reader’s Digest, but my style and subject is definitely different.
