Joe Wierenga /the Daily Drawing

The Tempest is probably my favorite Shakespeare play. My concept for this one was that Prospero’s skin looks like stone or tree bark at the start of the play (seen here), as if his magic is turning him into a part of the island itself. But then, as Ferdinand and Miranda’s love begins to melt his vengeful heart, he starts to look more and more human again.

Moby Dick has been on my bookshelf for years. I have no idea where it came from, I know I never bought it myself. Earlier this year I found myself in need of something new to read on the subway, so I decided Moby Dick will do as well as anything else. The parts where you’re actually reading a story are really good. He might have edited himself a little more when he came to writing about the symbolism behind the color white, or the lists of all his favorite drawings of whales that he’s ever seen, or one of the three chapters (so far) about Jonah and the whale. But I guess that’s what happens when you’re paid by the word.
Ahab is a pretty interesting character. But like most people, I think he might be a little more charismatic if he were a cat.

I just finished assembling this for, ehem, reasons. I thought I’d share it with you since I think it’s pretty cool. A select storyboard sequence from a short fight sequence I choreographed a year ago, more or less out of boredom.
