Scrapbook bits

I'm working on the thing rather than writing about it lately so here's some filler, some character studies that won't appear in the book but might be good to see after reading all that background:

RUTH

I've said a bit about her but haven't shown.
Well, this is a median sketch but she isn't
much changed from this.

MARTY

A touch too Nick Cave for my purposes

but you get the idea.

FAILED GAIL 

rear view 

GAIL and House

Done more for the dialogue and 

house by night than anything else.

Fragment with group

The boy in the bandana is Joshua. I've said nothing 

about him here yet but he's one of the four.

Anyway, back to it.
