  2. Thanks Travis , excercises like this one are always a good way for me to experiment with some ideas and techniques, rather than risk it on a paying gig.

  8. Hi Domonic, great blog and work, this is particularly lovely. I don't buy comics, but have nevertheless seen your stuff around in illos for many many years and enjoyed it. I remember you also from the most excellent design department at Nelvanarama many years ago. Best, and hope I haven't already made a comment like this, I've been looking at your blog awhile now...

  19. lotusgreen - thanks for your encouraging words. By all means 'link me' . If memory serves me correctly , Bonnard was afiliated with the Nabis art movement , I appreciate the reference.
