Random Drawings, ca. 1977-200something






































I'm continuing to excavate material as I clean out the studio. Here are several random drawings from notes, letters, and other ephemera, mostly centered from 1977 to about 1983. The academic quarter drawing of an unnamed Morty is one of his earliest appearances, probably in 1978. I included it in a letter and it was never published. A blue card has a draft of Ofeelya from my Tragedy of Morty series. A 1977-drawn two panel view of Seattle anticipated my one-pager for the Seattle Star years later. I think the final page had something to do with one of my brother's plays and is the only piece from Century 21.

Drawings in Crayon, ca. 1990






Found these drawings in a giant newsprint pad as I am cleaning out my studio. Probably made about 1989-1990 with my daughter.
