Jeff, my main character's partner greets her at the front door to her house. In the background her daughter boards the school bus. That's my parent's house in the background, btw.

First Two Chapters

Most folks will probably miss this since I haven't posted here in a while, but here I go anyway... the link which follows is to a .cbz comic viewing file which can be viewed through any number of free comic book viewing programs. It consists of the first two chapters of my graphic novel- some 78 pages or so- that I'm working on as part of my graduate thesis. So if you're interested or want to see the images I've produced all summer in some context, download and read on.

Case File page on Flickr.

A completed page to accompany the previous. This is a wrap around reveal rather than a double page spread. I wanted the juxtaposition to be pretty disturbing. Conveniently these newer pages offer an explanation for later on during the scene where Cleo throws out her uneaten food.

Breakfast over Murder on Flickr.

The main character looks over her case file during breakfast.

Referenced Marlene Dietrich's famous tuxedo for Cleo and this dress by Peggy Hoyt found on the Ye Olde Fashion tumblr blog for Susan: http://yeoldefashion.tumblr.com/post/7623098900/a-frilly-summer-party-dress-by-peggy-hoyt-1929

Russian Tortoise on Flickr.

This is an illustration I did for my wife- of her new Russian tortoise. Needs a little bottle of vodka somewhere. Too bad he didn't come with one...
