Just taking time to do a few studies,

Working on a "Hellary" toon for election time,
Studying a little theroy to get the art juices flowing.

The book I have been doing studies from is GODEL, ESCHER, BACH: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter. I find the Mobius Strip quite fascinating.

I will knock it down a level or two.

I grabbed Cartoon Clinic, the doctor will see you now! by Ben Cormack

This has become my favorite. Cartooning THE HEAD & FIGURE by Jack Hamm
