This is one of my favorite illustrations you've done.
Wow, this is awesome! Dax, I had no idea of your blog until recently. This is definitely one of my favorite things i've seen on here so far.
Thanks! This is based on a drawing I just rediscovered, one I did about ten years ago. This one is better.
Other Ahabs of mine:

I try to read Moby Dick every year. Try meaning "attempt," not try meaning "if I can carve out some time, I re-read Moby Dick, cuz I like it so much."
Thanks for rubbing it in, Dax. You and your Ahabs can go suck balls.
The first and last third of the book are pretty great.
In the middle, though, there's quite a few chapters where it seems as if the plot of the story has disappeared, and in turn you get a tutorial on how to cut in on a whale carcass, and the many different uses of whale meat, blubber, and ivory.
