The Page 100 Project

[r_dart]

Brilliant artist and great friend jasonturner made an LJ "call-to-pencils". He has started the Page 100 Project where you flip to page 100 of one of your favourite books and illustrate it in comic narration. What a grand idea!

So, I picked "The Hawkline Monster" by Richard Brautigan.

Brautigan is a great choice for graphic adaptation -- he has such a sparse style and a great eye for telling details. I'd love to read the whole book done this way!

I chose this book, because each chapter is about a page long, so I knew there was going to be something interesting to draw.

Do IT!

Awwwesssome. It's a beeeeooot, Rebecca!

I've been thinking about doing this. My work start-date keeps getting pushed back (although the deadline doesn't) so I might try and do a 100 page thing tomorrow.

I'd love to see one by you, please make it so.

Love the looser, scratchier approach. But then you knew that, didn't you?

Thanks James! Well, I couldn't spend as much time on this as would have liked to, so it was bit rushed.

It's great! Not only is a great book, but you can read it in about two days, which is kind of nice sometimes. It was a toss up between this book and "Nightmare Alley" by William Lindsay Gresham ( I guess I have a think for authors that have committed suicide).
