Kavalier and Clay

I've been working my way through Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. It's one of the most insanely well-written books I've ever read, but I've been having a hard time getting through it because I feel guilty spending my free time doing anything other than drawing. Also, my smartphone has completely destroyed my reading habits... any time I would've grabbed a book before, I just go on my iPhone now (which is really sad). But I digress. This book is amazing. It's about two young guys making superhero comics in 1940s New York City. I was reading a little last night and one sentence made me laugh out loud, so... I had to draw the two main characters.

"And Joe, of course, looked as if he had just fallen out of a hedge."

Updates may be a little bit less frequent for the next few weeks. I've got a handful of different freelance jobs going on right now and they're consuming most of my time. But I'll try to draw a few things of my own because it keeps me from getting too stressed out.
