Spent new years eating healthy and getting some pages prepared, blue lines printed, for inking for NUTS, Dream Life book two pt 2.

There was a modest scenic snow dump, so the view from my studio was nice.

Decide to use the 10 pages done digitally of Dream Life 2 as pencils. Going at it traditionally from this point on!

#WIP on Nuts, why do I give myself so many plants to draw and ink? Little more to go and some digital in post too probably. Have to revise Scrappy on the right page in the second panel, shrink him down a bit...

I read Butor’s Mobile and Robbe-Grillet’s Topology of a Phantom City in preparation for this and I’m glad I did. Wish I’d done so before Plats but whatevs. Makes that one make more sense in hindsight, the blurriness of the subject’s form. The intertextuality is already clicking; the mindengine revs.
