Starting the full-page illustrations for the Wizard of Oz.
A wizard.
One of those characters that I had a clear image of in my head and then tried to get on paper as quickly as possible. He looks like he should be in a grungy early-80s animated fantasy movie with watercolor backgrounds. I draw a lot of random characters on blank backgrounds huh
Ged from A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin. Really really beautiful book.

Hello! I’ve put up another 50-page sketchbook on Gumroad, right here. This one has a bunch of development for the Wizard of Oz project, in addition to a characteristic spread of other stuff.
Also every sketchbook I’ve put on Gumroad is now available in one file for $5 or pay-what-thou-wilt. 240 pages right here.
i had not thought about animorphs in many years until i saw that the tv show was on netflix and was able to sit through ten whole minutes of it.
Can I remind you of the Wizard of Oz Kickstarter, while we’re here.
Super loose preliminary work on an illustration I’m doing for Beyond, an anthology of queer genre fiction. There’s a Kickstarter running right now for the book and it’s going really well!
There’s a lot of good work going into this book and it’s the sort of thing that’s been a long time coming and I’m glad to be a part of it. More process on this image sooooon….
I’m getting some books printed that collect the Lacunæ and Aftermath illustration series, which have mostly never been in print. I’ll have them for conventions in 2015. This is the cover!! The text will be in silver foil!
I put up an enormous art book on Gumroad. About 100 pages; practically every piece of Overside-related promotional art and illustration I’ve made over the past eight years. EIGHT YEARS! There is also a pretty lengthy section of commentary on every piece in the book, from the perspective of bitter, wizened 2014 Evan.
It was strange and weirdly emotional pulling this stuff out of the last three computers I’ve used. Overside and what I’ve been trying to get out of it haven’t been extremely internally consistent, but I don’t think many people get to have such a clear throughline for so many years through practically everything they do creatively. Not done yet, either.
It would be lovely if you’d help me spread the word on this thing, and let me know what you think of it if you decide to get it! Thank you!
