This month I have been working on making the environments of my comic look like people actually live in them, taking all of the small facts of life into consideration.

Who lives here? What do the plants look like? Where do they get energy from? How do they do their laundry? How would they paint their house?

Lately an art teacher friend of mine sent out some questions to her fellow artists, asking 'What makes a helpful art critique?" I was impressed by her willingness to get feedback, refusing to settle for the average unbearable, eye-rolling art critique.

This month's work in the art studio included a large private commission, a plein air trip, tons of comic book work, and some quick gestural drawings. 

Lately I was traveling between Houston and Colorado, where I drew tired people and cellphone users at both Denver International and Bush International.
