old surgery house

Posted on July 31 2007 by dan fone

Everything’s taken a fine art slant since my sister arrived. It’ll only last for less than a week, so I’m making the most of it. She spent the morning painting a picture of me on a huge canvas I’d stowed, unused and collecting dust, beside the wardrobe for at least six years. Afterwards we went to the pub and sketched the building across the road. It’s great being with my sister because we have about the same attention spans and can geek out together about drawing stuff without annoying anyone else.

    great drawing, as usual

    you make drawing buildings look so easy! As a cartoonist, it’s buildings and cars that I dread drawing the most. I think all cartoonists feel that way. (Except Jason Lutes.) Most of the time I just find ways to avoid showing buildings and cars.

    So – Good work!

      Hey, thanks for that! And for the Jason Lutes reference. I hadn’t heard of him, but I googled his name and I’d really like to look at more of his stuff.
      A couple weeks ago I bought Yoshihiro Tatsumi’s ‘Abandon the old in Tokyo’ and I love the way he does urban landscapes.

    Lovely drawing, Sarah! Really impressive – structurally convincing without being stiff. Lovely!
    I am having an insomniac early morning, having partaken of too much of the old iced coffee earlier in the day. Glad to see you’re not suffering from any kind of post-Camberwell funk 🙂 Give me a call when you’ve got some time for a cafe visit or coffee break.

      Yeah, I’m really loving it that she’s here. She’s much more painterly than me (well, she’s doing a painting degree, doh! 🙂 so it makes me pay more attention to that kind of stuff…

    Very best wishes for you and your family.
    Of course, we’d love to see any comic you produce but understand if it’s a little private to share.
