A Pile of Drawings

Work isn't going so well, so here are a pile of drawings. Some of these sit around in pencil for a long while, and I finish them, and post them here.

Concerning the above, years back in Calgary, I had a chance to design space ships for someone's short film I don't think was ever made (that was around the time when "Star Wars" first came out). But the guy did have a volkswagen-size fibreglas egg in his father's garage for a long while.

I was reading a lot of science fiction at the time, and so I imagine my space ship designs were better back then. Here, it's mostly putting together vaguely streamlined shapes, and other items while watching Star Wars Part II. Not a brilliant movie (but not much worse than 1950s costume spectacles) and I've always loved models and special effects.

Beware the dreaded Giant Astro Cat!

Below, a sketch made while watching the bad hit-person film Domino.



Next, something I drew in bed before turning out the lights. Lucky it held together, because no pencil drawing underneath!



Finally, I added ink to a sketch R. Gagnon made, doing a riff on a curious menu item he was describing to me. M. Gagnon's a confirmed vegan, but he's good enough to keep it out of the conversation most of the time. Though I wonder what goes on in his head, and whether he will snap some day.
