FEBRUARY UPDATE / SHIT FROM AN OLD NOTEBOOK


Hey Dudes,

Haven't been updating here as much because I've been busy hustling to get The Hospital Suite done so it can come out at SPX this September.  I'm getting a lot of work done, but there's a lot of work to do!

Meanwhile, I am posting updates etc regularly at my Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr accounts (see links at top right).

In working on the Hospital Suite I pulled out an old notebook from 1997-1998 for reference.  Thought I'd share some snapshots of sketches and stuff from there.

Talk soon!
John P.
