A Sneak of "Oscar's Naughty Chicken"

"The whole town was  furious, at Oscar & his Dad, for keeping this chicken, who was 

always so bad!

Here is a page from the upcoming epic, "Oscar's Naughty Chicken", just to give you kids a taste of things to come. I don't want to share too much of the finished book just yet, but I feel comfortable posting this because it's not in color (which the book will be), and I am going to re-do this page anyway!

For those who are interested in how things are done, I lightboxed my rough sketch on cold pressed stock with blue col-erase pencil, then inked it with a Pigma brush and .08 pens. For those of you who want the look of dip pens and brushes, but are fed up with the costs and the wide-ranging quality of the dippies, Pigmas are worth a shot. If you can find them...

For you who do everything on computer, well you don't know what you're missing.

The original is 8" x 8', in case you wondered.

By the way, for all you locals who thought they saw someone familiar, yes, that is our own local cartoonist, and local legend, Mat Brown.
