AltTxt: "he knows no problem"
Squeezing in a slice of time to post another spread from my ongoing altered text project Odyssey.
« Pages 140 & 141 »
Page 140 illustrates an intense colloquy, and the page design is intended to depict the contrasting emotions of the speakers. I love it when I find such useful paragraphs as this one containing four instances of the word "notice;" great providence! This page is gouache and colored pencil on a gesso base.
Page 141 continues the story after the conversation falls silent. Gesso base followed by watercolor and topped off with Sharpie extra-fine markers.

Thanks very much, Linda. Yeah, times get crazy now and then, but this project is near and dear to my heart. So one way or another, it'll keep moving along, even if it's a snail's pace. :)
