"Bad Musher"

This was one of the two panels that I attempted to finish in the Creamer's Field fundraiser/Quick-Draw event last season, and this was the one that didn't quite make it - by like 5-minutes. Still good for the feature though! And I like the subtle shift in temperament between the initial sketchbook doodle versus the finished panel, which had a splash of watercolor wash added to it. One's kinda mad, the other's a bit sad, but either way the dog comes out ahead.

Looked really nice in full-color when it ran in last weekend's Sundays section of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. Looked even better served at brunch at Ivory Jacks next to a heaping platter of Benedict Arnold ... especially with bonus fresh/local eggs!
