Jungle heat.
July 31, 2008
I was out briefly this morning trying to square off a floor beam with a chainsaw and adze. Since we had a downpour yesterday evening it was humid and not a good day to be outdoors. 
I decided to work on a drawing I’ve had in mind for awhile. It’s been a long time since I used scratchboard, and it looks like it’ll take a couple tries to get this right. But I do think this is the medium to use for this particular illustration. It’s for a Southern Gothic novel.
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road!
Thanks, Alex. I saw those Cyrillic characters on your homepage, and was reminded of my pathetic attempts to teach myself Russian.
A friend of mine with a really strong Southern US accent became a really good speaker of Russian- something about hanging on the vowels half a beat longer I guess. I hope he got to visit there. I think the joke would have translated well.
