Picture of the week 02.12.07

The Three Faces of Suzanne

I started a sketch with a seasonal feel, entitled Cold as Hell, but I didn't finish it because I kept coming back

. If you stare at the first picture for a moment,
then rapidly shift your gaze to the second and third panels, you'll see how many changes have been made to it:



It's harder than it looks, folks.

I'll show you the finished product next week. And maybe I'll finish Cold as Hell and post that, too -- I've checked the
Weather Channel web site and, alas, it looks like that'll still be an appropriate picture.
