Chris Howard's Writing & Art: Seaborn Lounge

23 March 2010

Seaborn Lounge

I had a dream...a really bizarre dream. This was a little over a week ago. I'd been writing with some music in the background, and one of the tracks in the playlist was The Sea by Morcheeba.

So, cut to the middle of the night, and I'm dreaming of several characters from Seaborn--with Kassandra center stage doing this whole sultry lounge groove. I imagined it so thoroughly, that it stuck in my head, and I sketched it out the next day. I've been working on painting it ever since. I'm still not quite done, but I'm at a point where I can show it off.

Here they are, covering The Sea, left to right, Micheal Henderson (bass), Gregor (Kassandra's father on guitar), Nicole Garcia on drums, Kassandra in the spot light, Corina with her dead entourage in the background, and Jillian on keyboards.

This is great! It would make an excellent DVD extra (if there were a Seaborn DVD in the first place).

That's sort of how the dream went...if there ever was a Seaborn movie, and I had the influence, I'd make them do a video with the actors lip syncing and air-guitaring.

And you better believe it's going to be on the extended edition DVD!

Big Yawn -- Kassandra's Tired Spent a few hours painting today, two panels for the next set of Saltwater Witch, including the one below, Kassandra yawning, wondering where Ephoros is taking her. I'm not going to tell you, either. You'll just have to wait for the next set. I would love to hear what you think of this one, though. Click for the full view. .

Bigger bolder scenes This one's for Skott Klebe, a good friend and colleague of mine—and an author. I painted this on Saturday, starting out in the morning with a sketch and watercolor (see below) and over the day—about eight hours, completing the whole thing. After the Seaborn Lounge painting I did last weekend, I'm trying to develop whole scenes—a main character, several featured characters or places, and a well developed background.
