green evening stories

I found this webcomic called Buttercup Festival through the XKCD blag. Updated every Monday, it's filled with great pen-and-ink art as well as a great sense of whimsy. Sorta reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes, but much more non-sequitur.

Anyway, as I was browsing through the archives and some of his old art, I stumbled upon a sort of spin-off narrative graphic novel-thing that he never finished called Green Evening Stories. If Buttercup Festival had great art, this has Amazing-with-a-capital-A art. Every plate is a beautiful watercolor and ink painting, drawn with amazing attention to the color and composition of every element. Under the pseudonym Elliott G. Garbauskas, David Troupes paints swashes of rolling fields, dense and softly-hued forests, and vividly colored sunrises - all tied under an intriguingly epic narrative.

Check it out.
