Seafolk
I always seem to sketch in themes, although it doesn't become apparent what that theme is until I get to the 4th or 5th drawing. I'm calling the most recent set Seafolk (which could also be a new genre of music (see Port O'Brien.) For whatever reason, all my recent drawings have turned out to be sailor and fisherman of some kind. Nothing modern, though. More like Victorian sailors and fisherman. There's a certain sinister quality to them. Maybe it's the striped shirts.
