Recycling old art

A new page that features a character i never had any real use for, although he has been the coverboy for Thank God It's Ugly, an anthology from way back. This was the last issue, from 2001. It was inspired by Aleksei Balabanov's Of Freak And Men, an astonishing film.
Now he has a proper role in Pola's new adventures (despite the improper behaviour). Somehow, i have been reluctant in re-using old material like this. Now i feel liberated, as i am sitting on a pile of unused (or scarcely used) ideas at age 52. It seems even better than to be dependent on other peoples' creative output.

New book: Pola

Fiddling about with the cover for my upcoming book. On the left the back cover, which will have some text in the empty spot.

It is intended as a sequel to The 9th Island of 2017, and it features Pola the plucky, curious granddaughter as a young woman,  but it is an entirely different kind of story.

Another Ballpen drawing, why am I drawing this stuff ?I have no idea.
My enjoyment of it is overshadowed with the sense of guilt for not working on more mature and serious projects right now. However having said that I know that sometimes this type of process leads to new things.

The files for Jean Ray's Malpertuis are ready for printing. 

There have been two versions before this one, in various stages of incompletion.

Over the next few weeks i'll be posting, for your schadenfreude, excerpts from
