This drawing is not to be taken literally. There is no scientific or mermatoligical evidence to suggest that mermaids do keep pets.
I just finished inking the third chapter of the Autumn & Gearlock story “Outlaws and Orphans”. My approach on this series is to keep the inking simple, and allow the color do the heavy lifting.
I’ve been delighted with the response to the Scrollon App. Here’s a sampling of what’s been posted:

When Ziggy is outside barking, I rarely see what motivates him. But I trust that he is keeping at bay things we don’t want in our house.
Thanks to everyone who supported the launch of the Scrollon App for the iPad (now available for download on the App Store)
New drawing next Monday…
The Scrollon App for the iPad is now available on the App Store.
Scrollon® is storytelling without borders or pages, presented as a seemingly unending image which is advanced by scrolling with your finger or tapping the screen. The app allows you to sample Scrollon for free, and experience what it is like to not only read stories, but travel through them.
It’s taken three years to develop the app, and the visual grammar necessary to make Scrollon work. But the idea goes back further than that. I played with drawing a story on a roll of paper when I was still in art school (a very long time ago). And the inspiration came from a ancient Chinese scroll painting, which predated the printing press, so in fact it has taken many centuries for this idea to reach the iPad.
