New Project, Comic on Hold

So, just as the title says I'm putting my comic on hold for another art project. This project is a series of portraits done on a long piece of linen in the style of Mt. Rushmore. Because of the subjects and style I call this project Mt. Fopmore.

 The project is being done for an ensemble in the Ren Fest known as the Fops. Fops are what they called effeminate men in the 1500s, but don't be fooled, they were not 'gay' and they were in no way sissies. Fops were men who were usually bisexual, showing interest in both men and women, appreciating beauty where ever it was. They were rich and wore the finest clothes and were usually the best fighters around.

The guys playing the fops this year are very talented and are doing a fabulous job. I'm friends with most of them and getting to know the others better through this project. I've done a bit of research on Renaissance style art and hope it turns out really well! So excited!
