The following piece is gouache, ink and colored pencil: a rendition of Jamie Erickson.
Jamie Erickson is a central character in my new novel, My Travels with Eos. She is a clever femme fatale with a carefree and spontaneous quality.
She was a bit of a surprise for me. When writing the book, she sort of came into the plot out of necessity. Every sentence involving her was spontaneous. I came to really enjoy her personality, and found myself adapting a major role for her.
She’s still a bit of a mystery to me. She has a lot of depth I’ll have to explore in future novels, and I can’t quite figure it out without writing…
This following piece is a combination of gouache, ink, and colored pencil. It is my rendition of Alex Wesley, one of the main protagonists in my new novel, My Travels with Eos.
Alex Wesley documents his experiences with Eos Cerul, a nyx entity that has traveled to the vast expanses of space. Eos lacks a basic understanding in human behavior, and relies upon Alex to teach her the finer nuances of humanity.
Together, they survive a series of misadventures related to Eos’ breach of nyx protocol.
Alex is a thoughtful brooding type, not without his sense of humor. He is hard working, though a little scattered in his methods. He has deep emotional trauma from his distant past that he carries with him.
He believes he came to terms with his past long ago, though recent events force him to confront it. Due to his headstrong nature, he has difficulty reconciling his emotions.

Synopsis:
What course of evolution would humans take during prolonged interstellar travel? Enter the Nyx. The nyx are a matured species that have traveled to the far reaches of space. In their explorations, they found Earth, and have sent a delegation to share the mysteries of their evolution.
One such nyx, named Eos Cerul, breaks nyx protocol and enters Earth without permission. She takes human form, and seeks to explore the unique beauty of Earth, and experience the quaint nuances of human nature. In the Adirondack State Park, NY, she encounters her first human, Alex Wesley.
Eos invites Alex to explore the mysteries of the nyx datastream, where physical consciousness is translated to waves of energy, and the universe can be explored at the speed of light. In return, Alex educates Eos on the finer workings of the human condition.
