Six more spreads from Seawhite of Brighton A6 sketchbook number 2, spring of '93.





The woman with the broken watch is based on a painting by Alison Watt.

Six more spreads from Seawhite of Brighton A6 sketchbook number 2, spring of '93.

Still rather fond of some of the stuff in the first two ... but not much thereafter.

From the lost but now found Seawhite of Brighton A6 sketchbook number 2, spring of '93.

Apologies for wonkiness. And rubbishness of some of the content






















"Drawn in darkness" while sitting in the usher's seat at the old Arts Cinema, Cambridge. Possibly while sitting through the umpteenth showing of the not especially art filmy Beauty and the Beast (the Disney cartoon I mean) - if the dates are about right. The bit with the wolves is very good.

Incidentally, while rearranging my workspace in the front room (during which I seem to have erected my huge ugly desk that I thought I didn't have room for and actually somehow ended up with more space than before - I am a genius!) I finally located longlost Seawhite of Brighton A6 sketchbook number two that I had indeed put in a safe place (a shoebox full of small press comics and the like) when I moved into the flat a little under a year ago. At some point I may make time* to scan all of it and splurge it out in a handful of huge posts outside of the rest of the "from the archives" posts.

And really, there will be some other kind of posts from time to time. Sorry for the archive monotony lately.

The reason for the rearranging of furniture was to give myself extensive deskspace to work on the new eight part Good Dog, Bad Dog storyline, The Dogs' Dinner for The DFC (SUBSCRIBE NOW! and ensure my future). Naturally since creating the luxurious acreage of prime desky real estate I have continued largely to draw in a sketchbook on my lap on the sofa or in bed but hopefully I'll migrate eventually. I'll maybe post some spoiler free bits and pieces of Dogs as I go along.



* He creates space, he makes time ... what does he think he is, some kind of god?

Sadly I later learned that all that stuff about penguins is lies, lies, lies.

You will have recognised the Klimt already so I won't mention that. Not really got anything to say about the rest of these. Tum-te-tum.

The first issue of The DFC, featuring my own Good Dog, Bad Dog strip, finally arrives on doormats across the land on May 30th. And you can get the first four issues for free - which is a price that's hard to beat you'd have to agree - if you subscribe now (if you don't like it you can cancel after the free issues and pay nothing, otherwise it's about a tenner a month I think for weekly 36 page issues). Follow the link for accurate details.

Free I said!
