I posted this sketchbook drawing to Instagram a while back (in the mean time one of the folks who liked it passed away, RIP NB), but since social media is definitely an ephemeral instant in life online, I decided to publish here. I’ve always wanted to do a children’s science fiction book. Something whimsical, yet with an edge of menace to it. I really liked those sorts of books as a kid. Wonder with a dash of apprehension.

Science Fiction as a genre trope is very fun to draw. Science fiction is the discourse of the moment in both it’s utopian and dystopian forms. Some folks seem aware of this, but many just seem to think its a fun thing to read. The genre speaks very loudly of what is what right now. By all means, have fun, but listen to what it’s saying too.
