Maxx: early sketches of Megan from Soccer Queen...



On a red hair kick.

Very different than the

long blonde hair she eventually had.

Twout-a-verse: 1890's sketches of Magic Boxes..


Early sketches of Magic Boxes . .

which foolishly tried to avoid using a Toilet Seat as a front plate.



But Toilet Seats are a key ingredient in what makes a Magic Box work.

( don't worry, i don't know what the heck i'm talking about either.. )

What I was trying for in Scratch

I dunno how much it shows, but Scratch was my tribute/effort to blend the brush style of Wrightson and Sienkiewicz's frenetic design sense.

Not sure if either of those came through in the end.  Despite all my efforts,

it all winds up looking like . . . "sam stuff" in the end.

Twout Artifacts



Twout lore, antiques, skulls, brass . . 

. . .  and various sketchbooks full of quirky self-indulgent 'sam doodles'.

Annie vs Nola.



Another painting of that red eye creature,

which to Annie, (in Ojo), represents a connection to her lost mother,

but to Nola, represents her mother's critical side.

Same Archetype, but wildly different effect on these two girls.
