Hypnotik Eye

I was going to do this up north {caledon] over the weekend so I thought I would do something that I could just ink with no computer colour. Also I walked through some woods so I had woods on my mind. I had another idea that was more of a spot
but I went ahead with this.

I had meant to mention this when I first posted this illustration so I'm adding it now. One of the things I was thinking about
when I drew this was a story from the book Ib Melchior, Man of Imagination. Its a Biography on the film director of the b-movies "Angry Red Planet. Robinson Crusoe on Mars and he worked on the script of a Mario Bava movie I love "Planet of the Vampires". He was also a spy in the war and lead a very interesting life. He talks about a story he remembers as a kid about a boy who , with his horse pulling a sled with a big vat on it, is returning home in the snow at night. Suddenly a group of wolves start to chase him. He can't outrun them, he can't fight them, whatever he does he's dead, except, he stops the sled, turns the vat over and crawls under it, he let the horse go to run back to his house so his parents would no something was up and the boy was safe under the vat.


These are some quick sketches from the weekend. I got stung by a wasp which was like the 5th time this year. It made me laugh. I hadn't been
stung by a bee, wasp or hornet my entire life but this year when we were moving a couch off our porch to dump in the garbage I was swarmed and stung about 5 times. There was a nest under the cushions just starting. I hosed them down and got rid of the couch. They kept coming back for a couple of days.
