The Slow Days

THIS IS A REALLY OLD DRAWING.  Just so you know. It's from late '72, maybe early '73...I was around eighteen years old. No excuse for the terribly anatomy and face on the human character here.  You can find a couple of other works from the same period, and on the same theme in this gallery.  They show what happens if you have a degree of talent and imagination, but zero artistic training. Also, I find them personally interesting because they show elements of themes that have since re-appeared: a rapport between beautiful girl and mutants, and being chased through thick mud by alien monsters.  I had just started reading fantasy stories at this time (Jack Vance, Hannes Bok, etc) and it filled my head with all kinds of imagery.  The title?  Just made it up, being in the mood for incongruity.
