Time Scavengers
26/December/2008
Committee- A group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done.

As mentioned in a previous post, here, I’m working alongside close friend and author W.J. Cardiff on a collaborative project producing illustrations for his story tentatively titled, “Time Scavengers.” The paintings above are part of the group of pieces inspired by the story, the first two chapters of which I have posted here, (Chapters 1&2 here). If you want to see what the paintings and sketches relate to you’ll just have to read the story.
This being a side project means that work has a tendency to get interrupted often, the train of thought can get derailed, and paintings that were headed one way tilt off in another direction. Not the most optimal situation to be sure. On the other hand of course there’s no deadline looming overhead or committees to hurdle over. Some of the pieces I’ll be posting are more finished than others, some, (all so far), are done with no preliminary work other than a rough sketch scratched out in Painter or a scribbled thought torn from a sketchbook.
