Natalie, at the risk of creating what looks like some cloying mutual admiration society a deux, I have to pass comment on your extraordinary versatility. Such an enormous range of graphic skills, each presented with equal authority & authenticity. By rights, there should be some element of jack-of-all-trades evident in your output, but never the case!
The title suggests that the series of images could be a story sketch for a film. Wonderful studies, I especially like the top right one with the bird beak.
A nice interpretation of short shorts, too!
What a thrill to be here again – better than birthdays and Christmas combined. Thanks Beth and Dave.
Rachel, I thought if I made the title broad enough, people could make up their own film-script out of it.
Dick, yeah I know The versatility is there but I often feel it’s more of a handicap than an asset because it stops me from perfecting one thing – that’s usually the way of progress, I’m told.
Marja-Leena, I love the idea of drawing inside little windows, for some reason. Also like looking into windows when sitting on a moving train.
Qarrtsiluni (2005-2013) was a groundbreaking online literary magazine, one of the first to fully exploit blog software. Though we never quite realized our dream of creating a print-on-demand option for each issue, being online does mean that our back issues remain accessible indefinitely, so there's that. And we published some damn fine stuff — check it out.

This is beautiful, Natalie. I love the way the title makes me reconsider the images.
