I’ve been reading a LOT of Charles De Lint’s books lately. I’ve been a big fan for the past seventeen years or so, and am rereading some of the old stuff and a fair bit of his new stuff, even managed to bag a signed copy of one of his books for Christmas last year (you fanboy Aaron…). The remarkable thing about CDL’s work is his ability to just lay all that magic out there, it’s tangible and lingers for the duration of the book (and a long time afterwards too…), his characters are hauntingly believable (even to the point of feeling like old friends) and the tales are unique… weaving old folklore into modern settings… incredible.
favourites of mine are: The Onion Girl, Memory and Dream (my absolute fave…), Someplace To Be Flying, Mulengro and Trader, but I’ve yet to come cross a book of his I didn’t like. If you haven’t read any of his work, check him out….. Today’s doodle is a quickie based on a couple of his characters.
Cool. The look like they are gossiping about something and laughing about it. Cute.
hehe, they do, don’t they…
That is EXACTLY how I picture them!
Bravo!
Thanks so much!
