25 - Lets see where this goes...
Just fancied drawing something mystical in biro. I hate drawing hands
24 - Gotham Central Batman
Just finished re-reading Gotham Central book 1. What a combination of writers and artists! Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka are titans on their own, having transformed noir comics pretty much singlehandedly in the last twenty years, so having them tag team on a Batman police procedural title was a dream come true. Even years after the series wrapped up, this series is still pure pleasure to read
The art, by Michael Lark, perfectly suits the tone of the series. Brubaker works so well with Lark.

241/365 Anna Banana Birthday Card 2015
Who needs flowers? When a bunch of Andy Warhol style rotting bananas will do?
I splattered the envelope with miniatures of my previous artwork.
23 - Starbucks return to sender
I'm going through a Biro phase at the moment and am burning through the ball point pens. I particularly like finding pens on the floor. It's very odd that I own lots of art materials and find the cheapest thing I can get my hands on is my weapon of choice. The only problem with them is that they take AGES to do fill-in colour, so this took me more than an hour to just colour in
22a - Ben Ainslie thank you note
Thank you note for an eBay for some Olympics 2012 stamps.
22 - Grendel
I've just finished reading Grendel Omnibus 2, written by Matt Wagner and illustrated by Wagner and Tim Sale and this piece is inspired by that. I haven't really spent any time reading Grendel and only just realised that Grendel has been running for nearly 30 years. I didn't really enjoy the book as I thought the storytelling was erratic and inconsistent. This came as a surprise, because I've just been reading Matt Wagner's run on Madame Xanadu and his storyboarding and dialogue was outstanding.
This is in the subseries of Return to sender envelopes, biro drawings, and books that I've read.
MailHEART 365 #4
Still in the Chinese New Year theme:
Envelope made from Asian newspaper, Stamps and stickers.
The Chinese New Years continues for several weeks, so this could be a recurring theme.
Do you like my Mail HEART 365 logo?
365-2 #2 Travel Japan
This is a handmade postcard for a swap-bot swap. I used a page from a Children's Atlas, then adorned it with footsteps showing a route. The smiley character comes from an Asian food advertisement.
There is a heart on the address side.
MailHEART 365 #3
Celebrating Lunar New Year. Tashi Delek! Happy Losar!
With a lucky money envelope inside.
Envelope from an Asian newspaper picked up at a Chinese restaurant on Chinese New Year (2/19). Chinese zodiac on the back. Various stamps and hearts (apropos of MailHEART 365), my new slogan. With Lunar New Year stamp.
Voila!
