From Ashes to Asses, From Dust to Dusty

 December 29, 2024

   All this month I have enjoyed noodling dust and dust storms.

Daily Whip Out: 

"Provenance On December 1"

   And, here is a page from a week later. . .

Daily Whip Out: "Dust Storm On Dec. 7"

   Do you see the figure materializing in the background?

    Me neither.

Daily Whip Out:

"Emerging Out of the Dust"

   So, let's start with a simple silhouette and see if I can push those shapes working backwards and put a few more layers on it, and we just might end up here. . .

Daily Whip Out:

"Captain Hardy at Coyote Pass"

Daily Whip Out:

"Mickey Campa at Railroad Park"

Daily Whip Out: "Wall of Dust Rider"

   And, just when you thought it couldn't get any dustier. . .

Daily Whip Out: "Horn Dog Dusty"

Lesson Number One

  There are no bad stories—only stories that need to connect.

"To find out who you really are, you first need to forget who they told you to be."
