Hi Joe,
Very nice to 'hear' from you!
I'm quite moved by your drawings. I find the ones I've posted, of people by themselves, very powerful.
I LOVE your simple, yet detailed drawing style... the characters exude so much feeling+personality, I instantly connected with them... they look like ghosts (friendly ones) that appear on the page while everything else in the picture disappears...
you're awesome.
Best,
D

I really appreciate your thoughtful comments. What you see in the figures matches up well with what I think about as I choose gestures, facial types etc. This concordance between viewer and artist doesn't always Happen (doesn't necessarily need to ) but is helpful for me to note when it does.
I am wondering what you might think of some of my newer work, which are more epic environments with a lot more going on. I'd be curious if they are interesting to you or not, if you are willing to take a look.
Also interested in your background. You are in science I think?
Hope you are well.
Best,
J.
