“I don’t mind if you don’t like my manners. They’re pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter evenings.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep

I'm a huge fan of private eye stories, and my all-time favorite is Raymond Chandler's perpetually put-upon detective, Phillip Marlowe.

"“I mingle with my peers or no one, and since I have no peers, I mingle with no one.”

I realized I have really fallen off drawing, so I decided to give myself a bit of a challenge. I'm going to draw characters from some of my favorite novels. I'm starting off with my favorite book of all time, A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, with his incredibly unlikeable protagonist, Ignatius Reilly.
