Brisbane on stilts

Pen and watercolor wash drawing of Brisbane as dusk, with flying fruit bats overhead, and old style Queenslander houses.

Inspired by the city I live in, Brisbane. Colonies of flying foxes at dusk, and seemingly rickety Queenslanders on stilts. Growing up here these were pretty typical sights, though don't try and find where this is. This one's made up. More process pictures can be viewed on my Facebook page.

If you've been following this blog you'll be pretty familiar with this character by now. Here's a couple more scraps exploring different mediums and treatments.

If/when we do find a willing publisher, I think the character and his world are going to flow from my pen/pencil/brush like an old friend..
