I WAS RATHER PLEASED with the amount of work I got done on SAINT RINGO while I was on vacation for two weeks. Yes, before you overreact to the improper use of WORK and VACATION in the same sentence, understand it was work I wanted to do. It rarely took priority over the more important vacation-items at hand, like kayaking and drinking, but I did manage to put those creative urges to good use when the Muse hit.
I'm still in re-entry mode, here, so, I have no artwork to share at this post. But note, I also managed to knock-off one "vacation-diary" entry as well.
Yes, those of you familiar with my MO know that I often spent all my drawing time just chronicling the events of the vacation in some humorous form. I lamented in a recent post about the backlog of such vacation diary entries that never got posted. And with my new "art form" taking shape as annual self-publications, I spent the last two vacations working on them instead of diary work.
But as I said, I was quite pleased with the progress I had made, so I took a "day off" and created a 20th Anniversary piece. Yes, it was 1994-many, many years before I would start doing drawings on vacation-that I first took my family to this favorite cabin on the lake.
And that's how I spent my summer vacation!
Stay tuned for the art...
