  4. Great! it's a fantastic sequence. Good luck working on the rest of the book :)
    Just pointing one thing, with the layout you have maybe it gives too much atention to the big illustration with the plane, and the sequence on the side is having less atention. Maybe if the reaction of the guy would stand on the top it would be better understand. At least that what i think :)

  10. great drawings. The characters misfortune makes me think of the show Dead Like Me where a toilet seat from space kills George and the Allanis Morrisette song, Ironic. Great idea and depiction.

  11. As always - fabulous work!! Love the idea and the execution. But since I've been on 11 airflights in the last 2 weeks and I'm getting on an international flight at the end of this week I'll try to "forget" this wonderful illustration :).

  13. I love the story blocks within the bigger picture...Great storyboarding. The contrast in size: big plane meets mini-man really adds to the drama :)

    Amazing scale of the plane with its improbable angle and little guy running for his life… Your illustrations have glow about them that even the most morbid moment made somehow cozy, he-he… Beautiful!
