R&I technical issues
Blogger is failing to redirect the R&I blog to the custom URL roseandisabel.com, so for the time being I have moved the address back to roseandisabel.blogspot.com (roseandisabel.com is not accessible at this time). It has been almost a week and Blogger has not fixed the problem, so I'm looking into Wordpress (and potentially getting an actual site up and running), so please stay tuned.
UPDATE: (6/23) Redirect has been fixed.

Down to the wire
The date for Cora Part 2 to be delivered the printer is rapidly approaching. June 15th is the day that all material has to be uploaded. It's an intense time and I'm still scrambling a bit trying to get the book done. The B&W pages have gone out to a couple of folks for notes and I'm busy incorporating those as well. It's really important to me that I share what I'm working on and get opinions and suggestions from others. For me it's not good to work in a total vacuum.
The panel below is an homage to Norman Rockwell. I grew up with books of his stuff around the house and the panel is based on a painting of his that has stuck with me over the years. In designing the old man's home for the Cora book, the image kept coming back to me as a source of inspiration. It is one of my favorites of his; I love the layering of space in the Rockwell -- looking through a window and through one room into the next where activity is taking place; dark is played against light, where the light (and active) area is a significantly smaller portion of the composition. There is also a bit of Rosemary's Baby influence in the panel below, from the shot when Mia(?) is on the phone and her face is hidden from view. I can't find a still of it at the moment, but will upload it once I find one.
