Orwell with a sword

George Orwell holding a samurai sword. This is based on a picture of him I came across on the internet. I have no clue what the story behind it is...I can only assume he's preparing to slay some fascists.

(Or just looking at a sword.)

Currently reading a collection of his essays. Needless to say, it's fantastic.

I should be doing less writer drawing and more writing. Oh well.

Faulkner Drawing and Novel Update

Was in a bit of a drawing mood today:



It's based on a photo of Faulkner during his time in Paris. It's not the greatest, and it looks better in real life, of course, but I'm happy with it. Especially since it started as just a doodle of his pipe.

In other news, my new novel is almost finished. I should have a completed first draft within a week.

And it's spring! Yippee!
