I believe this is my seventh, solid cover-to-cover finished book. Of those I have shelved it has taken the longest to complete as I have been distracted by a lot of digital drawing (Darn you Wacom!). This work spans the last two years and has a lot of road trips and projects scattered though out its pages. There are some sizable time gaps in it which I am not so happy about but as a viewer it probably makes for interesting browsing as the artwork stays fresh and changes often.
It is also notable that this is the first book where someone else’s drawings have shared the page with mine. Try as I might it has been impossible to keep my toddler son Silas away from this book. His handy work is present towards the end pages.
I can’t draw my son. These are way off.
