Club High Castle Pre-Pandemic

I am glad February is finally over! To say that this month has been stressful, would be a severe understatement. Well, it’s onto month number three, March. Here’s to hoping that it turns out to be a great month! So far, my New Years resolutions are holding up. A look at February’s projects: Tensor, said the Tensor – posted on the 15th “Life Tree” 9 in x 12 in || 1.5 hours || pencil This was done for a friend at work. My cameras did not want to take pictures of this for some reason and kept running out of batteries. I kid thee not! I was lucky that this picture made it into my old camera before the batteries went out! I’m happy to say that my coworker loved it! It always feels good to know that someone enjoys your art! Books read in 2011: 1/3 I’m currently working my way through The Watchers Out of Time by H.P. Lovecraft and August Derleth (it’s a collection of short stories).

The lapse in updates was due to the overtime mentioned in my last post. The past two weeks have been stressful; I won’t lie! But, I was able to finish a drawing. It’s on the creepy side, something different, and something I had fun experimenting with! I like the technique I used for it and am getting faster with it. Tensor, said the Tensor. This is an ode both to Babylon 5 (namely, the Psi Corps/telepaths) and The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester. The woman, Cynthia Redding, in the drawing is the main character of a short fan fic I wrote. The words (thoughts) swirling about her are lyrics to a jingle in The Demolished Man: Eight, sir; seven, sir; Six, sir; five, sir; Four, sir; three, sir; Two, sir; one! Tenser, said the Tensor. Tenser, said the Tensor. Tension, apprehension, And dissension have begun. Disclaimer: I do not own/did not create Babylon 5 or The Demolished Man Here's a link to a bigger version of it on my DA account.
