Here is the basic scoop:
I got together with two amazing authors & illustrators, David Biedrzycki and Russ Cox, to create a book in the Exquisite Corpse style. Russ decided that it should be named The Exquisite Dorks, which seems appropriate.  I wrote and illustrated the first page. Neither of my co-creators had any idea what I was doing. After he sees it, David Biedrzycki will have one day to write and illustrate the next page. The next day, Russ Cox will add the third. We'll cycle through until we have about 30 pages and, with luck, a complete story. We are each allowed 1 hour to illustrate, so the images will be rough. (I took about an hour and a half to get this one put together, because it's the first page and I was setting the stage.)

​I'll post them here as they are created. Enjoy!

Here are some 30 second time-lapse movies of how I create my pieces. In real life, I spend about an hour and a half on each of these.
