what's in the hopper, hopping ~
it's update day over at Reconstruction! (i've really got to stop posting only on Mondays and Thursdays, because really, i should have more to talk about, no?)
today's page is the train that took me forever to draw. so you have seen it before, but here is it in context. this transition never existed in the original book, but i felt like the comic version needed it. i also really wanted a super wide shot of the city itself, but confess i got lazy. that's going to happen a lot, unfortunately.

bachsoprano told me i had to write the conspiracy story because my posts about it make no sense (ha! sorry about that to everyone on my flist). the good news is: i am making good progress on it. last night i broke down the main character "sets" (who's front and center, who's choric, who's meta-theatrical, etc.) and came up with what i think will be a pretty fabulous construct. i also made some decisions on the "look" of the thing. i have been working on the outline and it's still struggling, but things are lining up with it.
between Reconstruction, Jack, and another project (still in the planning stages, but due to launch in May, possibly), it might be a good long while before the conspiracy story sees the light of day, though my goal for April is to finish up a final complete character list and a bibliography (that in itself is daunting at the moment ~ i keep coming up with new sources).
today's picture, since i have mushed Reconstruction and In Pursuance of Said Conspiracy into one post, is the only point of cross-over that might have been possible between the two ~ it's the Holliday Street Theatre in Baltimore where, in august of 1858, the Booth brothers performed Richard III. Lewis Fletcher attended the performance.
happy thursday all!
