Lately I've been feeling very inspired by artist Jim Woodring.
Just ordered his new book, Weathercraft, and can't wait til I get it! Here is a review of Weathercraft from Comics Alliance. Woodring's work is an incredibly great mix that evokes surrealism, old-time woodcuts and manuscripts, nightmares, dreams, grotesqueness, and kitschy-cutesy-cartooning. It's pretty amazing.
I'm seriously of the opinion that he's one of the best cartoonists out there right now.
But in any case, I've been feeling motivated to get my imagination and hands going again (drawing after a hiatus of, er, NOT drawing really does result in stiff hands getting crampy at being put to use again!). Two sketches today, posted below. I have some ideas milling around my head, and some characters that need to form a bit more. I'll have to work on fleshing things out... Well, I have my work cut out for me now!
