"The Tourist" is about an American GI that goes AWOL in search of his future, and finds himself in a remote Scottish fishing village while pursued by his past. A dangerous game of cat/mouse threatens himself, his dreams, and those he's come to care for.
"The Tourist"... brings a bag of trouble for an innocent fishing village that has risked it's happiness for a stranger, and his bag of secrets.
Brian Wood, is simply one of the most brilliant, and passionate writers of our age.
His work doesn't pull any punches, and speaks with a voice from a gut level viewpointed reality.
Brian, and I have been friends for a long time since meeting at a comic book show years ago as art students.
He's continued to create with a sense of passion, and contributed a brilliant voice in the independant publishing artform.
The Tourist is a remarkably different from some of his other works. Sorta' a mix of Demo, Couriers, and recent works such as DMZ...yet still unique. A study of people like much of his work is, but expanding his diversity still again.

Yeah, I've been waiting to see your work man. This looks like something I'd enjoy very much. Don't know anything really about Wood's writing, but art is half the battle!

wow. this looks great!
GODDAMN. I'm in.
looks awesome!
WOW! Awesome pages! I have two questions... What exactly do you ink with? Looks like a variety of brushes and maybe quill pen too...? AND are you gonna make it out to the big NYC con in Feb?
P.
I really like the way you understood Zaffinos' ink, without copying it.
Anyway, it's just a really good job.

Yeah, I use a variety of brushes, kind of like painting. Mostly I use a Raphael #2,#3,#4 and a flat slant tip brush.
I also use a crow quill #102 for stiff, graphic lines for limited line variation.

A very good, quick read, and the linework was very engaging.
great work.
Gotta say though. The pages near the end looked kinda rushed.
