April 1980

I have suddenly been gifted with a ton of my own original art from 1979-1980, plus a ton of my old published comix. The original art dates back to when I lived in Burlington, Vermont and in Seattle, Washington.

Your Morty blog will be in public view for a little bit while I scan and post these never before published or posted drawings. Many many more to come and I feel like I am discovering most of them for the first time!

The following three drawings were created in Seattle in April 1980, only a month before the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. These pencil works were obviously using photographs as models.
