Back in ‘22 I said I wanted to turn this fellow into a block print and now here we are. I usually start carving the largest areas with the biggest blade, then work my way down to the smallest blade and the more detailed work. But I’ve learned that there’s nothing more maddening than spending hours on a block and then goofing up something fiddly, carving off a key element accidentally at the 11th hour. So now I do the stuff that makes me hold my breath first, then sit back and enjoy the easy parts. I’m working on this in small increments, when I need a break from other things. But I’m hoping to have this printed in the next month or two…

And I had every intention of doing Hourly Comic Day last week, but life happened. I did manage, however, the 6:00 hour and a very honest representation of my hair.
